OMG! The LOC! The sacredness of the space. The mustiness as you sit in the rotunda waiting for book to come down the conveyor belt. sigh Can you handle so much ectasy? The first thing I did when I got to DC (besides dropping my bags off at the hotel) was to race over to LOC to get a researcher’s card. The most prized card in my wallet. The first thing I looked at? A manuscript from the First Vatican Council from Archbishop Peter Richard Kenrick in Latin published in Milan. Beautiful!
