Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 1 of 2020

Only one scanning day this week, and a small batch at that with only five new manuscripts added to the archives.

Bindings often make strange bedfellows, and Vat.lat.6749 is no different. Of it's 322 folios of text, the first 315 are the writings of Peter Damian which make for a somewhat incongruous pairing with the music in the Pontificale that closes out the volume. (see f.317v to the right)
