Among those books, the most famous ones are the gift from Pope Paul V, with the gorgeous binding by Horace Cardon who worked for the Pope’s Library. Those books had really striking features, such as red leather covers, and the Tregnum and Heraldry of the Pope in gold.

Joseph-Martial Mouly (1856–1868), over 5000 western books of the former Jesuit Library were safely stored in the library. After the Second OpiumWar, Mgr. Mouly moved the Jesuit Library to Pei-T’ang (North Church), and asked Jean-Baptiste-Raphaël Thierry (1823–1880) to make a catalogue.
