New (and first) siglum for Monaco
Monday, October 6, 2014
At the beginning of June 2014, the first RISM library siglum for the Principality of Monaco was created: MC-MCpgil, for the Princess Grace Irish Library in Monaco-Ville.
The heart of the collection is made up of songs of Irish-American origin and Irish books. Many of the music scores were collected from 1932 to 1954 by Michael E. O’Donnell of Philadelphia, a collection which was acquired by Princess Grace in 1978. You can read more about the music collection in an essay by Axel Klein.
