Vatican to exhibit books and other works by Pope Benedict

During the Pope's forthcoming apostolic trip to Germany, the German publisher Herder and the Vatican Publishing House will organize an exhibition of the works of Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI in various languages. 

"The exhibition is unique of its kind", read a Vatican statement. "It will first be set up at Castelgandolfo for the Holy Father himself, then at the Teutonic Cemetery inside the Vatican , and finally at Herder's head office in Freiburg, and will include some 600 volumes from more than twenty-five countries. For the first time it will be possible to see a Romanian edition of 'Salt of the Earth' alongside a Chinese version of 'God and the World', as well as the great monographs of Joseph Ratzinger/Benedict XVI". 

The exhibition will open at the Teutonic Cemetery on 16 September and at Freiburg on 24 September where it will be presented during the course of a press conference organised for the papal visit.
