Codex Purpureus

In New Testament criticism,  a Byzantine Gospels made in the 6th century plays a celebrated role in debate because its texts do not always fit well with other ancient Greek text traditions. Codex N or the Codex Purpureus (sometimes also called the Codex Caesariensis) has been hacked apart (apparently by the Crusaders) with the sections now in many libraries.

The biggest section of the 231 extant folios is in St Petersburg, while the Vatican holds six folios, shelfmarked Vat.gr.2305, which have just arrived online. They contain Matthew 19:6-13; 20:6-22; 20:29-21:19. The parchment was formerly dyed purple, but the dye has faded. See Robert B Waltz and Wikipedia.

Ounce of Gold

Of all medieval history records, the taxation and property lists are the least readable but the most productive. The greatest of all such compilations is the Liber Censum, a financial database of the real-estate revenues owed to the papacy from 492 to 1192.

By an enormous web of grants and legacies, the Pope had acquired claims to revenue streams, but many payers did whatever they could to "forget" to pay or ensure that the documentation vanished. The Liber Censuum Romanæ Ecclesiæ (Latin for "Census Book of the Roman Church", also referred to as the Codex of Cencius) converted all the scattered records into one roll, which survives in the codex Vat.lat.8486. This has just been placed online by the Vatican Library.

The Wikipedia article notes:

The earliest documentary evidence for the use of such a document of papal property rights goes back even earlier to an 1163/1164 letter from Pope Alexander III to the abbot of Lagny-sur-Marne requesting an annual payment of one ounce of gold, owed according to "a certain work among the books of the apostolic see". Although this specific claim dated to the time of Pope Urban II, the abbot rejected it and there is no evidence Alexander III pursued it further.... The Liber Censuum proper was assembled in 1192 by Cencius Camerarius (the future Pope Honorius III), papal chamberlain to Pope Clement III and Pope Celestine II, and his assistant, William Rofio ... [Tussles like that with Lagny-sur-Marne] are likely what Cencius refers to in the preface of the Liber Censuum as the "no little damage and loss" incurred by the church as a result of earlier records being "incomplete and neither written nor arranged authentically".

266. Vat.lat.11272 , LQ. One volume from a detailed inquiry throughout the Italian peninsula by the Congregation of the Index of Prohibited Books into the state of the libraries of religious orders and their members. This volume covers Carmelites. The ink has come through the paper making it sometimes hard to read. Among the sections of especial interest is an inventory of the library of Paolo Antonio Foscarini, a Carmelite friar and theologian (c. 1562–1616), who was keenly interested in research at the interface between science and magic. See article by Andrew Campbell.

Dr Celsus MD

The earliest surviving major medical treatise written in Latin, and the earliest Western history of medicine, is Celsus's De medicina: The Vatican Library has just digitized the Vat.lat.5951: This codex, known as V, and a similar 9th-century copy in Florence, plus another now lost, ensured De medicina survived the Middle Ages.

The author, Aulus Cornelius Celsus, who lived from c.25 BCE to c.50 CE, probably in Gallia Narbonensis, is presumed to have been a physician himself. Jeremy Norman calls this book the oldest western medical document after the Hippocratic writings.

The list below is the 6th of my 7 briefings on new Vat.lat. and Vat.gr. manuscripts digitized from mostly black and white microfilm.
