The library has six copies of Κατὰ Ὠκέλλου περὶ τῆς τοῦ Παντὸς Φύσεως, by Jean Zanetti Clutschiar, translated by Georgios Bendotes, who was born on Zakynthos in 1757. The book was printed in Vienna in 1787, in parallel Greek and French.

The Sinai library has several copies of the first edition of the Philokalia, published in Venice in 1782. This large folio volume contains advanced texts on prayer, spanning from the fourth to the fifteenth centuries, compiled by Nicodemus the Hagiorite and Macarius of Corinth. Included in this volume are the spiritual treatises by Hesychius of Sinai, and Philotheus of Sinai.
The coffered ceiling of the renovated library creates beautiful patterns of light and shadow.
Custom lamps were made for the renovated library.
The stainless steel banister at balcony level
Details of the banister posts
The stairways have stainless steel posts with turned ornaments at each end. These support the banister.
Two stairways at opposite corners lead up to the balcony level.
The renovated storeroom has a stainless steel balcony that extends around the entire room. Open shelves at the upper level hold the monastery’s collection of early Greek printed books. Cabinets at the lower level contain trays to support stainless steel archival cases. These will protect some two thousand manuscripts, and about two hundred significant printed books.
The chairs in the reading room have also been carved with the monastery logo.
