The '''Biblioteca Classense''' is the [public library](/source/public_library) of Ravenna, Italy.

In 1803, with the Napoleonic suppression of monasteries and religious institutions, a library was created to harbor the confiscated books. They were housed in the library of the [Camaldolese](/source/Camaldolese) Monastery, which had been founded in the 17th century by the Abbott Pietro Canneti with books moved here from the abbey adjacent to [Sant'Apollinare in Classe](/source/Sant'Apollinare_in_Classe). The collection was expanded with donation from the architect [Camillo Morigia](/source/Camillo_Morigia) (1743-1795) and the art critic [Corrado Ricci](/source/Corrado_Ricci) (1858-1934).

It now includes manuscript codices, [incunabula](/source/incunabula), prints, musical works, and numerous artworks and books. 

The library has a large collection of editions of the works related to [Dante Alighieri](/source/Dante_Alighieri).<ref>[http://www.classense.ra.it/storia/ Official website of library]</ref>
