Pope Clement XI

Personal library

His family library was sold between 1864 and 1928, and part of it was purchased by the Catholic University of America. This collection contains a large section concerning the Jansenist controversy and the Chinese Rites controversy, as well as canon law, and other related topics. The material purchased in 1864 (purchased on behalf of the Prussian government by Theodor Mommsen) was lost at sea on its way to Germany.
