The exhibition Measuring the Sacred. Bernardino Amico and the Holy Land between the 16th and 17th Centuries was prepared in Jerusalem by Miriana Cimbro, Lucia Giustozzi, Stefano Cassini and Edoardo Barbieri between 28th January and 12th February 2023. Special thanks go to Maddalena Baschirotto, Giulia Morotti, Veronica Brocca, Alessandro Tedesco, Fabiola Bettinazzi, Tommaso Saltini, Father Lionel Goh, Father Eugenio Alliata, Father Stéphane Milovitch, Father Narcyz Klimas, Father Sergej Loktionob, Fra Rosario Pierri and, last but not least, Francesca Romana Stasolla.

The images of the two editions are respectively from the copies Jerusalem, Studium Biblicum Franciscanum, R.52 for the 1609 edition (incomplete at the end) and Jerusalem, Archive of the Custody of the Holy Land, Archivio 13 for the 1620 edition.

The making of this exhibition was not only possible thanks to the free efforts of its authors, but also thanks to the support of the Rectorate of Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, the Custody of the Holy Land and the association Pro Terra Sancta. We thank them all.
