The Vatican was only active one day this week, but that gave us 44 manuscripts. One theme seems to be music, Vat.lat.5322, Vat.lar.5324, and Vat.lat.5320 are all about the theory of music, see the scale diagrams on f.11v of 5320. Other interesting manuscripts include a copy of Andrea Dandalo's Chronicon a pontificatu S. Marci, a history of Venice until 1339 written by a member of the sometimes-ruling Dandalo family in Vat.lat.5286 and both Pompeo Buonaventura's justification for Lepanto: Della giustificatione de Venetiani per la pace fatta col Turco l'anno 1572 and a Risposta to the same in Vat.lat.5299 (formerly microfilm).

Perhaps the most famous manuscript of the week is the Codex Basiliano-Vaticanus, Vat.gr.2106, an 8th Century Greek manuscript of a portion of the Old Testament, starting with Leviticus. This is undecorated except for a small title band at the start of the book of Numbers, f.9r, to the right. This manuscript and its brother in Vanice, Marciana Gr. 1, appear to be the remains of a pandect, a single volume which containted the entire bible.

Another Greek manuscript added this week appears to be a collection of letters from the Patriarch of Constantinople, including one to Pope Gregory XIII, Vat.gr.2124 part A. The band below is the title from f.9r
