Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 36 of 2019

Vat.lat.5257 is part of a composite hagiographic manuscript containing a legend of St. Clare (Incipit Venerabilis christi sponse deoque dicate virginis clare..., ff.1r-6v) perhaps from the late 14th C, an Infancy Gospel (Incipit: [I]n diebus illis erat uic in Uerusalem, ff. 9r-38v) from no earlier than the mid 15th C, a life of Paul the First Hermit (Incipit: [I]nter multos sape dubitatum est aquo potil, ff. 43r-49r), and no less than 2 copies of Jerome's Vita Malchi monachi captivi, (ff. 39r-42v and ff. 51r-61v). The second copy, written in 1460 by Feliciano da Verona starts with the elaborate "Qui" seen to the right, f.52r.

Also this week is the bittersweet adition of Vat.lat.5326, a copy of Giovanni Giocondo's Sylloge from around April of 1509. It is the latest known manuscript written by the prolific, talented, and extremely well documented scribe Bartolomeo Sanvito. Although his skills are undimmed, you can see a distinct tremor in his hand.
