Library, built 1437-44 by Michelozzo on the first floor of the Dominican Convent of St Mark, now the Museo Nazionale di San Marco, in Florence, Tuscany, Italy. The room has 2 rows of columns forming 3 naves with a barrel vaulted ceiling and large windows to let in natural light for the copying of manuscripts. It holds books and manuscripts, many in Latin and Greek, and was a centre for learning in the Renaissance. The original convent was rebuilt 1437-52 for Cosimo I de Medici by Michelozzo di Bartolomeo Michelozzi, 1396-1472, in Renaissance style. The interior walls were painted 1439-44 with frescoes by Fra Angelico, 1395-1455, and his assistants. The convent is part of the Florence UNESCO World Heritage Site. Picture by Manuel Cohen
