Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 17 of 2019

For details on all 42 manuscripts this week, please see Macro Typography.

This week we got a very dramatic addition, Vat.lat.4770 is an early example of a Missal with musical notation (see a sample of the notation below from f.92r below). The start of Vat.lat.4774, a work of unknown content starts with 2 pages defining the date of composition, starting with "years since Creation" and "years since Incarnation", continuing with the date of the first Sunday in Advent and then multiple dates related to the Franciscan order, years since the orders founding, the death of Francis and Clare, etc. See f.1r to the right for a sample.
