Among the most antique manuscripts is the Liber primorum monachorum (1446) of Philippe Ribot (O.Carm). Furthermore there are 11 incunabula's (before 1500) and 43 post-incunabula's (between 1501 and 1540). The Library is nearly exclusive about Carmelite history and spirituality (books and magazines).
