The Kircherian Museum was an antiquities and curiousities collection, set up in 1651 by the jesuit Athanasius Kircher at the Roman College.
A catalogue of this collection was published in 1678 by a not better known Giorgio de Sepi, with the supervision of Kircher himself: the title of the catalogue was Romani Collegii Societatis Jesu Musaeum Celeberrimum and its fully readable on GATE at this link (with full-text search available).
After Kircher death (1681), the curation of the museum wasn't assigned to anyone and this caused a slightly decline and dispersion of the collection. At the beginning of the 18th century another jesuit, Filippo Bonanni, started to take care again of the museum, rearranging the pieces and enlarging the collection that was newly described in the Musaeum Kircherianum, a work by Bonanni printed in 1709.
Later, about in 1716, Bonanni also wrote a report to his superiors where he described all the actions taken in the last two decades to save and reorganize the museum: the goal of the report was to obtain an annual income for the museum to avoid its decline as happened after Kircher death. The transcription of the report, entitled Notizie circa la Galleria del Collegio Romano is also available on GATE at this link.
