Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 22 of 2022

A total of forty-two manuscripts were digitized this week. The work on Reg.lat seems to be slowing down, with only two from the collection, and Pal.lat slows as well, down to one. The bulk of the manuscripts are in Vat.lat.9xxx, with some Ross and a smattering of others. A new Fond makes its debut for tracking purposes, with nine volumes of the Borg.cin collection added to the repository. Eight of these come from the collection of Antonio Montucci, which was sold to the Sacra Congregatio de Propaganda Fide upon his death in 1824.

To the right is f.3r from Vat.lat.9838. This volume contains four seemingly unrelated drawings by Andrea Palladio, and this one is identified as a floor plan and cross-section of the Temple of Vesta.

The bottom border is from Ross.862, a book of poems dedicated to Christina, Queen of Sweden. Although the Regiensis collection was hers, this volume somehow became part of Rossiani. The folio from which this border comes, f.5r, was a poem dedicated to Galileo Galilei.
