Monks Run Hospital For Manuscripts

Rome, Dec. 1,
A group of monks has opened a “hospital" for old books and manuscripts in a six-centuries old monastery in central Italy.
In white tunice, their hoods thrown back on to their shoulders, the Brothers bond low over high desks, working without hurry, with great care and infinite patience.

The high moments of the monica' lives, Don Mario said, come when, among a pile of dis coloured, ragged documents just sent in, they discover some lost masterpiece.
"Recently we found the original score of a piece of music by Pier Luigi da Palestrina, tho famous 10th century Italian composer of sacred music. There was great excitement in the Institute that day,"
He excused himself with a amile and waved the shoot of paper he was holding.
"This is a progress report which wo keep for each book or manuscript sent to the Instituto for restoration.
