초록

피렌체는 이탈리아 르네상스의 요람이다. 그것은 중세 인문주의자들의 고대 그리스·로마의 지식문화 탐구, 위대한 군주와 성직자의 문예적 소양과 리더십, 메디치 가문 등의 문화예술 후원, 예술가의 자유분방한 사유와 창의성, 시민의 비판적 의식과 문화적 욕구 등이 조합된 결과다. 그러나 메디치 가문이 고대 필사본과 중세 번역본을 수집하지 않았다면, 도서관을 건립하여 고전을 보존하고 제공하지 않았으면, 피렌체 르네상스는 개화할 수 없었다. 이러한 논거를 기반으로 본 연구는 피렌체 르네상스와 역사도서관을 개관한 다음에 메디치가의 고전자료 수집·구성을 분석하고, 메디치 도서관의 건축적 특징과 메타포를 추적하였다. 산 마르코 도서관(미켈로초 도서관), 바디아 피에졸라 도서관, 산 로렌츠 도서관(라우렌치아나 도서관)은 지진, 화재, 복원, 이관, 압수, 폐쇄 등 무수한 난관에도 불구하고 피렌체 르네상스의 마중물이자 산실이었다. 특히 코시모·로렌초의 재정 지원, 미켈로초 설계, 니콜리 개인장서를 기반으로 1444년 개관한 산 마르코 도서관은 르네상스 시대의 최초 공용도서관이었다. 그리고 줄리오 주도 하에 1571년 개관한 라우렌치아나 도서관의 건축적 백미는 '무지에서 지혜로'를 상징하는 미켈란젤로 계단이고, 내용적 진가는 인문주의자 니콜리와 메디치가가 수집한 고대 필사본과 초기 인쇄본이다. 요컨대 피렌체 르네상스를 논할 때 메디치가 장서와 역사도서관은 매우 중시해야 할 포인트다. 고전은 구시대 박제품이 아니라 통시적 기호학이며, 도서관은 인류 지식문화사를 조감하는 망원경이자 지식과 지혜를 창출하는 현미경이기 때문이다. 기록이 기억을 지배한다면 도서관은 기록을 집적한다. 따라서 비교적 역사가 오래된 국내 도서관의 소급장서 개발과 보존에도 긴 호흡과 타임캡슐 전략이 필요하다.

Florence is the cradle of the Italian Renaissance. It is the result of a combination of medieval humanists' exploration of ancient Greek and Roman knowledge and culture, the leadership of great monarchs and priests, patronage of the Medici family, etc., free-thinking and creativity of artists, and critical consciousness and cultural needs of citizens. However, the Florentine Renaissance could not have blossomed unless the Medici family had collected ancient manuscripts and translations, and built libraries to preserve and provide literature. Based on this logical basis, this study outlined the Florentine renaissance and historic libraries, analyzed the collection and composition of favorite books of the Medici family, and traced the architectural characteristics and metaphors of the Medici libraries, The San Marco Library (Michelozzo Library), Library of Badia Fiesolana, and the San Lorenzo Library (Laurentian Library) were the priming and birthplace of the Florentine Renaissance despite of many difficulties, including earthquake, fire, restoration, transfer, seizure, and closure. In particular, the San Marco Library, which was opened in 1444 based on the financial support of Cosimo de' Medici, Michelozzo's design, and Niccoli's private collections was the first common library in the Renaissance period. And the architectural highlight of the Laurentian Library, which opened in 1571 under the leadership of Giulio (Papa Clemente VII), is Michelangelo's staircase, which symbolizes 'from ignorance to wisdom', and the real value of the content is the ancient manuscripts and early printed books, which were collected by the humanist Niccoli and the Medici family. In short, when discussing the Florentine Renaissance, Medici's collection and historic libraries are very important points. The reason is that the ancient collections were not stuffed products, but syntactic semiotics, and the libraries are telescopes that view the history of human knowledge and culture and microscopes that create knowledge and wisdom. If records dominate memories, libraries accumulate records. Therefore, long breathing and time capsule strategies are also required for the development and preservation of retroactive books in domestic libraries with a relatively long history.
