This might be Daughter of God, by Lewis Perdue. From an Amazon review:
"The novel concerns an ancient document, which holds a secret capable
of changing history and rocking the course of Western religion. The
secret involves a proof of a female messiah, who lived during the reign
of Constantine and who was murdered to preserve the religious image of
God as male and protect the power of the Holy Roman Empire. It's the
story of fine arts broker, Zoe Ridgeway, and her husband, Seth, a
professor of philosophy and comparative religion, who find themselves
caught in a web of terror and deception Their hair raising expeiences are
filled with unexpected twists and turns right up to the shocking ending."

My patron is looking for a book that involves a male protagonist who is
searching for pieces of a manuscript or document of some sort. When pieced
together the manuscript provides evidence about something
related to the Holocuast. The main character has a woman companion. There
is a scene that takes place in a library in Florence involving the
downloading of some information to a disk and a chase that starts in
the library and ends up out on the street. The patron thinks the book is 5-7
years old. Does this ring a bell with anyone?

The deadliest document ever written must be found.
And time is running out.
It has long been rumored in academic circles that a sixteenth-century monk
named Eisenreich took Machiavelli several steps further, writing a
masterplan for world domination so dangerous the Pope had him killed to
suppress it. But Eisenreich's text, On Supremacy, survived. Some scholars
even believed the Third Reich had a copy. But when the bullet-riddled body
of a young girl is found in Montana and "Eisenreich" is her dying word, it
becomes terrifyingly clear that not only is the document real--someone is
planning to use this explosive piece of history in the late twentieth
century.
This deadly document is at the heart of The Overseer, a chillingly
authentic, compulsively readable thriller of global intrigue and political
conspiracy that follows a desperate search for a fabled manuscript, one with
frightening modern-day implications. Beautiful, troubled government agent
Sarah Trent is given just enough information by her covert office to begin
digging into the murder of the young girl. Her search takes her to Columbia
University and a brilliant young political theorist named Xander Jaspers,
who agrees to help her.
I hope this helps.

Could this be "Palace of Wisdom" by Bob
Marshalls-Andrews? This is set in 17th c. Florence,
not present day, however.
