L'Archivio del Monastero di Santa Caterina d'Alessandria di Palermo. Inventario

The architectural complex of Santa Caterina is located in the heart of the historic center of Palermo. In the archive of the monastery of Santa Caterina, the minutes are still preserved in which the official of the Revenue Office, the prior of the monastery and the patron of the same put in writing, in a list, the real estate and movable assets of the church and monastery , including cards25. A fruitful and meticulous work of reorganization has led to the creation of an inventory which, as is well known, in addition to enhancing a precious heritage of papers and documents, constitutes the key to access it. Without the possibility, in fact, of a full and orderly recovery of the information contained in an archive, there can be no exhaustive knowledge of it.
