The Vatican Publishing House is a publisher established by the Holy See, which is the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Rome, known as the pope, as well as the sovereign entity of international law governing the Vatican City.
The Vatican Publishing House (Italian: Libreria Editrice Vaticana; Latin: Officina libraria editoria Vaticana; LEV) is a publisher established by the Holy See in 1926. On 27 June 2015, Pope Francis decreed that the Vatican Publishing House would eventually be incorporated into a newly established Secretariat for Communications in the Roman Curia.
