Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 39 of 2018

Only twelve manuscripts were digitized this week. See all the details at MacroTypography. With the exception of Ross,2, a Confessions of Bernardino of Sienna, all the manuscripts are part of the Vat.lat fond. The clear standout is a elaborate Peter of Poitiers Compendium roll, Vat.lat.3783. This covers the history of the world from creation through the events in the Hebrew Bible, up to the incarnation and ministry of Jesus, all in one easy-to-read diagram! This is the more elaborate of the two well-knowns Vatican examples.

The bottom border is from Vat.lat.3939 a northern Italian (Venetian?) book of regulations with delightful red and blue ink decorations on f.1r, of which this is a small part.
