No new manuscripts this week as the Vatican Library is taking an abbreviated August recess. In the quiet I have continued adding catalogue information to the Capponiani Collection. On the right is the f.17r from Cappon.56, a 16th C copy of Gregorio Dati's La Sfera. This page depicts the tower of Babel. This volume is mis-identified in Cazzo's 19th C catalogue of the collection* as Lorenzo Bonincontri da Samminiato Atlante, translated into Ottava rima, but correct in the website metadata.
