The Are practically lasted twenty-four hours, and It seems certain that 3,000 volumes of Greek, Latin and other codices were consumed as w«ll as the precious Venetian collection of books from the library of Cardinal Delia RoVere. The codices from the celebrated Robbie abbey appear to have been saved, as wua the incunabula collection. Among the codices saved is a very ancient codex of the fourth century containing the gospels as well as many others of later date. A classic mediaeval book of the greatest valiie called "Heures de Turin," by the Duke de Berry, for which Great Britain once offered any sum of iftoney, now appears to have been destroyed, as was an ancient French 'translation at Dante.
