From Monte Cassino

Monte Cassino, the fabled monastery of Benedict of Nursia, produced many of the great manuscripts now in the Vatican Apostolic Library, among them the 11th-century Vat.lat.1203, a prestige copy (and indeed the only copy) of the Miracles of Saint Benedict by Desiderius, assisted by Alberic. Here's a sketch at the back, probably of much later date, depicting Benedict:
The work dates to 1076-1079 and this codex presumably immediately after, scribed by the monk who had penned Vat.lat.5735 (not yet online). Among authors who have written about it are Antonio Manfredi and Frances Newton. The initials are particularly celebrated, such as this one that looks like a letter R in a big skirt going for a stroll:

Unique Mythography Text Online

The Vatican Library has just surpassed 15,000 codices or maps imaged and placed online. The two uploads that pushed the portal over the line were Reg.lat.1439 (12the century, possibly French), which contains Macrobius's Commentary on the Dream of Scipio as well as Cicero’s Laelius de Amicitia, and Reg.lat.1313, the Colloquium heptaplomeres (Colloquium of the Seven about Secrets of the Sublime).


Of especial great interest in the latest group is a unique 9th-century text in Reg.lat.1401 which relays and parses Greek and Latin mythology for a medieval audience. It is by the first of three anonymous medieval authors who are now known as the Mythographi Vaticani. The writings of Mythographer 2 and Mythographer 3 (found elsewhere as well) are also compiled into this precious and irreplaceable codex.

The profound knowledge of classical myths in the Middle Ages -- and their huge role in Renaissance art -- largely goes back to these three texts. For more information, see Wikipedia and the 1947 article by Kathleen Elliott and John (JP) Elder.

Here is my list of 16 new volumes released in the first part of this week:
  1. Reg.lat.199, Isidore of Seville, Sententiae (HT to @gundormr)
  2. Reg.lat.1079
  3. Reg.lat.1081
  4. Reg.lat.1191
  5. Reg.lat.1313
  6. Reg.lat.1326
  7. Reg.lat.1439
  8. Reg.lat.1348
  9. Reg.lat.1382
  10. Reg.lat.1401, the Three Vatican Mythographers (above)
  11. Reg.lat.1425
  12. Reg.lat.1433
  13. Reg.lat.1448
  14. Reg.lat.1450, John de Wesalia, see eTK for more.
  15. Reg.lat.1460
  16. Reg.lat.1463
Meanwhile color versions keep replacing old, low-quality black and white scans. For example, an Apollonius of Perga math text, , has just shown up in hi-res.

Defender of the Faith

This is Martin Luther year, commemorating the start of the Protestant Reformation in 1517, when the tangible news event was Martin Luther nailing up 95 theological theses on a church door in Wittenberg, Germany. Ten years later the Reformation spread to England, with King Henry VIII requesting annulment of his marriage, getting angry and seeing through acts of Parliament between 1532 and 1534 that sealed a break with Rome.

One nuance that we often forget is that Henry (1491-1547) had been a very keen Roman Catholic at first (like Luther), and had initially led the counterattack against the German revolt. His book, Assertio septem sacramentorum adversus Martinum Lutherum of 1521, led to English kings and queens being granted a papal title, "Defender of the Faith" (Fidei Defensor), which the Anglican British monarchs retain to this day (look at sterling coins).

The Vatican Library has just digitized its illuminated presentation copy of the Assertio, Vat.lat.3731, an historic highlight of the 105 latest digitizations by the DigiVatLib program.


The Assertio was probably drafted by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey and scribed at Greenwich. It mightily pleased the pope, but in one of history's great unintended consequences probably seeded the idea of mutiny in Henry. Here's his autograph and dedication:
On October 31, all Germany, Catholics included, will have a public holiday in celebration of Martin. Perhaps a few Catholic households will look at this codex and wonder what might have been.

Below is my full list:
  1. Arch.Cap.S.Pietro.G.4.pt.bis ,

  21. Reg.lat.1278, a manuscript copy of the 16th-century alchemical treatise Rosary of the Philosophers. This codex postdates the book publication of 1550, a printing at Basle, Switzerland. The work (see Wikipedia) was a "rose garden" of wise sayings by those convinced they could manufacture gold, but its market success was undoubtedly more due to its ensemble of X-rated pictures.

    For more information check out my Petrus Pictaviensis page.
     
    There are also arbor juris diagrams (above) and decision flow charts (below) for what seem be annulment of marriage hearings.

    There are also some beautiful menorah (seven-armed candelabra) drawings. If you are as fascinated as I am by high medieval symbolism, you will love this codex.

Science Manuscripts at Vatican

Medieval (and earlier) science dominates the recent releases by the Bibliotheca Palatina project in Heidelberg, Germany.

The old ducal and university library at Heidelberg was confiscated and given to the pope. The whole stock of books is now being reconstituted both for the DigiVatiLib project and as a standalone online digital resource in Heidelberg that is especially interesting for those studying the history of medicine and alchemy.

What caught my eye in this lot was an elaborate book-length horoscope prepared by astrologers and geomancers for one Erasmus von Minckwitz, chancellor of the kingdom of Saxony in the mid 16th century.

Although he had obtained a doctorate in law at Padua, Erasmus was clearly more susceptible to his stars than to science.

Below is the full list, compiled from the library's RSS feed over the past two months or so. Most of these manuscripts are late medieval, but note the 11th century Epistulae of Symmachus, Pal.lat.1576. Where codices are mentioned in the catalog of incipits by Lynn Thorndike and Pearl Kibre, I have added the incipit and a link to the electronic Thorndike-Kibre (eTK).

Their Only Plato

A beautiful 10th-century Italian manuscript containing the Latin commentary by Calcidius on the Timaeus of Plato is a star of this week's crop of digitizations at the Vatican Library.

This manuscript has 62 leaves and fine artwork (see above). Folios 21v-22r were exhibited in the Rome Reborn exhibition in the United States, where Anthony Grafton commented: "Calcidius's version of Plato's cosmology was an influential source for medieval ideas about the natural world."

Calcidius translated Part One only of Plato's Timaeus from Greek into Latin around 321 and provided an extensive commentary, hence the title to this manuscript, In Platonis Timaeum commentarius. It is said this translation was the only extensive text of Plato known to scholars in the Latin West for approximately 800 years.

The full list of items found follows. As always, please click through them and post on Twitter (shout out to me as @JBPiggin) about any remarkable finds that you see.
  1. Ott.lat.1149, a 15th-century manuscript of Boethius on the Isagoge of Porphyry with an unusual arbor porphyriana with a monkey in the crown, and animals in and around the branches.
    Hermann Schadt (Die Darstellungen der Arbores, p. 82) says the older arbor porphyriana drawings are simple line diagrams and this is one of the first to be made tree like. My readers know that just because something is called an arbor, it need not look like a tree. The association is simply that arbor is a medieval word for a recursive diagram (perhaps because trees preserve shape during growth). Also, as Schadt notes on page 81, this may be a pun in the Visigothic language, where arbi meant inheritance, hence the word-play arbor juris for an inheritance diagram.

Falsigrafia

Making mistakes was part of the scribe's day, so knives were always at the ready to scrape off a duff letter or word. Messing up a diagram was harder to fix.

In his Album of Science I, John Murdoch highlighted corrections in a Vatican manuscript of Euclid, Reg.lat.1268, which came online in color a few days ago. Since last year it had only been available in murky black and white. Below is Murdoch's always readable discussion of these diagrams:

The Greek, Arabic, and especially medieval Latin manuscripts of Euclid's Elements and other geometrical works are for the most part accompanied by quite adequate figures, in some instances drawn with an accuracy and elegance—often with different colors—that rival and even surpass the best efforts of modern printing. In a few cases, however, this graphic excellence is found wanting. Two instances of such falsigrafia—a medieval term that covered not only wrongly drawn diagrams but wrongly constructed arguments as well—are given here, both from a fourteenth-century copy of an anonymous version of the Elements. That on the top [...] is the relevant figure for the Pythagorean theorem (Book I, Prop. 46; I, 47 in the Greek). Its problem is that two rhombuses have been drawn above on the legs of the right triangle in place of the requisite squares, a fact that is duly noted by the inscription written across the diagram reading: “this is false above” (hec est falsa superius). The example below (to I, 23) is more involved. Two attempts made by the scribe to provide a proper figure have proved abortive. At the lower right of this diagram we see touching instead of intersecting circles; this is appropriately labeled falsigrafium. A second attempt— scratched out and called falsa at the top left of the same diagram—erred in drawing the straight lines from the point of intersection of the circles to points A and P, which are not, as they should be, the respective centers of the two circles. They are that in the third, successful, attempt to produce a correct figure, here appearing at the bottom left. From: Murdoch, John E. Album of Science: Antiquity and the Middle Ages (New York: Scribner, 1984), illustration 115.
Murdoch also comments on two other diagrams from the same manuscript, which he presents as Illustrations 113 (how Latin translations of Euclid tended to overdo diagrams, fol 21v) and 122 (how a dodecahedron was drawn in two dimensions, fol 133r).
