Abstract
By identifying, classifying and illustrating different signs of possession of Greek books, both manuscript and printed, belonging to Cardinal Giovanni Salviati (1490-1553), it was possible to reconnect to the same collection many volumes currently preserved in the Vatican Library, as well as in numerous others libraries in Italy, France, the United Kingdom and Germany. The history of the dispersal of such rich and exquisite collection also allowed retracing the origin of part of Pierre Séguier’s Greek library and the study of the career of two still quite unknown scribes : George Balsamon and Michael Hermodorus Lestarchos.
