Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 25 of 2020

Only six manuscripts were added to the repository this week, the majority in the Indian collections. The last few weeks have seen a flurry of activity in the Borg.ind collection, and this week saw three more of those and Vat.ind.10, a Javanese/Arabic calendar in a tall/narrow format codex. To the right is f.2r, the "Calendarium Javanum", which is in Javanese script.
