Sommario
The Provincial Library of L’Aquila holds 31 large format liturgical books, gathered in a collection traditionally called Fondo Corali. These books, up to now little studied, can be grouped into two units which were handed over to the Province of L’Aquila at the time of the suppression of the ecclesiastical institutions in the 1860s. The books belonging to the larger one of those units were confiscated at the local convent of the Observants at S. Bernardino. The present contribution examines the oldest documentation pertaining to the intricate history of the Fondo. It comes up with plausible hypotheses as to the origin of the choral books before they were found and seized at S. Bernardino’s. Mainly on the basis of their liturgical content, a grouping of the books is suggested, and, for the first time, a complete and coherent catalogue of the entire Fondo Corali.
