Summary/Abstract: The Library of the Holy Synod was established in 1872 as a documentation center for the Romanian Orthodox bishops. The collections were formed from donations and various purchases. The library has been operating since 1912 in the Palace of the Holy Synod at Antim Monastery. Between 1959 and 1977, under the rule of Patriarch Justinian Marina, the library was reorganized based on scientific criteria and provided with appropriate facilities. Nowadays, the Library of the Holy Synod has valuable collections of manuscripts, old books and periodicals and also modern theological books. The library has also a laboratory for book repair and restoration and it is open to the interested public. Exhibitions, book launches and international scientific colloquia are organized each year.
