BOBBIO

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 100 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BOBBIO , a town and episcopal see of Lombardy,
Italy
 , in the province of
Pavia
 , 322 M. S.W. of Piacenza by road. Pop. (1901) 4848. Its most important building is the
church
  dedicated to St Columban, who became first abbot of Bobbio in 595 or 6r2, and died there in 615. It was erected in Lombard style in the 11th or 12th
century
  (to which period the campanile belongs) and restored in the 13th. The
cathedral
  is also interesting. Bobbio was especially famous for the manuscripts which belonged to the monastery of St Columban, and are now dispersed, the greater
part
  being in the Vatican library at Rome, and others at
Milan
  and
Turin
 . The
cathedral
  archives contain documents of the loth and nth centuries.
See M. Stokes, Six Months in the Apennines (London, 1892), 154 seq.; C. Cipolla, in L'Arte (1904), 241.
