The Archivio Biblioteca Museo Civico (also A.B.M.C.) is an organization which mainly serves as library and museum and it is located in Altamura, Italy. The archive and library comprise about 90,000 books, mostly about history and literature, among which are scrolls and books dating back to Middle Ages and the 16th century.[1] A.B.M.C. also includes books from the former city library Biblioteca Comunale, replaced by A.B.M.C. in ca. 1950. The number of books has dramatically increased over the years.[3]
The library stores valuable books and archeological finds, such as the cofanetto limosino, the tonograph and both ancient and modern art paintings. It also stores some bone fragments believed to have been from Dante Alighieri's hand. Indro Montanelli also mentioned it in his book Dante Alighieri (booklet number 4 of series "I Protagonisti", published and sold in 1993 together with Italian newspaper Il Giornale).[4]
Among the oldest books are 18 incunabula and 434 cinquecentine (16th century books) as well as many books from the 17th and 18th centuries.[1]
