Pontifical Biblical Institute, Pontifical institute in Rome, Italy

The Pontifical Biblical Institute features a three-level central hall with Art Nouveau balconies housing an extensive collection of biblical and ancient texts.

Pope Pius X established the Pontifical Biblical Institute through his apostolic letter Vinea Electa in 1909 to advance Scripture studies in Rome.

The institute maintains a branch in Jerusalem since 1927, allowing students to conduct research at the Hebrew University or École Biblique.

Students from over 60 countries access specialized courses in Greek, Hebrew, Biblical Aramaic, archaeology, geography, and biblical interpretation methods.

The library collection began with duplicates from the Vatican Library and now contains rare books focusing on Biblical and Ancient Oriental studies.
