VATICAN CITY, 6 OCT 2011 (VIS) - Msgr. Cesare Pasini, prefect of the Vatican Apostolic Library, visited the Turkish city of Istanbul earlier this month in the company of Delio Proverbio, the library's "scriptor orientalis".

Msgr. Pasini met with Mustafa Sarigul, mayor of Sisli district, who on 10 October will present a book written by Rinaldo Marmara, spokesperson and cultural attache of the Turkish Episcopal Conference, to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between the Holy See and Turkey. He also visited Bahcesehir University and met with Kadir Topbas, mayor of Istanbul to whom he gave a facsimile of Ptolemy's "Geography".
