Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 31 of 2019

This week saw 43 manuscripts added, including another from the Samaratin holdings. One interesting MS is an unidentified, at least hard to identify, Italian work on rhetoric, Vat.lat.5231. It consists of a series of proto-flow-charts showing how to form an argument. F.6v (to the right) is a representative sample, mapping out The Deliberative Genre,

Finally another manuscript of a text by Juan De Torquemada, also from his personal library, has been added this week, Vat.lat.2567, complete with his arms painted at the bottom of f.1r (see below)
