The popes living in the early centuries were venerated as martyrs and saints. Since the introduction of the canonization process in the 13th century, only one medieval pope (Celestin V) and one modern pope (Pius V) were officially proclaimed saint. This trend has been deeply modified in the last century, when almost all the reigning Roman Popes have been canonized.

In the modern times, with the exception of Pius V, there was a weak interest in the holiness of reigning popes. The cult was directed in favor of the popes of the ancient times, martyrs and saints. It took 140 years, before Pius V was canonized. During the 18th century this attitude changed, without any result.

The reputation of sanctity of the Roman Popes was deeply changing during twenty centuries. They were recognized as martyrs and confessors in the first centuries of the christianity. Only one pope in the middles ages (Celestin V) and another one in the modern times (Pius V) have been proclaimed a saint. In the last 150 years many Roman Popes became officially a saint or a blessed, from Pius IX to John Paul II.

Il gesto di lasciare testimonianza del colloquio con i propri libri e di rappresentarsi nella continuità dei lettori ha attraversato persone di ogni tempo e condizione in una logica consuetudinaria che ha alimentato l'identificazione di sé e il senso di apparteneza ad una comunità. Confidando sui segni di appropriazione e di riconoscimento apposti dagli uomini e – in misura minore – dalle donne dei chiostri, i saggi mirano a ricomporre le tracce disperse della longa memoria libraria claustrale muovendo da una fonte unitaria di straordinario valore approntata nel clima di rigoroso controllo delle letture attuato dalla Congregazione dell'Indice dopo la promulgazione dell'Index librorum prohibitorum di Clemente VIII (1596). Facendo tesoro dei risultati fin qui ottenuti nell'ambito del Progetto di Ricerca sull'Inchiesta della Congregazione dell'Indice dei libri proibiti (RICI), si è inteso animare l'immagine di alcune raccolte librarie fotografate nel corpus dei codici Vaticani latini 11266-11326, delineandone la fisionomia istituzionale e bibliografica e ripercorrendone le vicende e gli itinerari della dispersione.

Questo volume accoglie gli Atti del VI Convegno Internazionale del Progetto Spazi sacri e percorsi identitari. Testi di fondazione, iconografia, culto e tradizioni nei santuari cristiani italiani fra tarda antichità e Medioevo, svoltosi a Bari dal 23 al 25 maggio 2017. La ricerca ha inteso riprendere le indagini sui concetti di sacralità e di spazio/luogo; studiare i santuari quali specifici spazi sacri; consegnare al pubblico di non specialisti una nuova idea di questi luoghi in quanto non solo poli cultuali, ma spazi culturali in senso più ampio.
