Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 39 of 2020

Eighty-four manuscripts were added this week, including a record, I think, of 50 in a single day, the 24^th. Several running projects are continuing, includinig a tranche of 42 new Galletti volumes. The work on Vietnamese manuscripts continues, with six more from the Borg.tonch fond. Those are uncatalogued in any source I can find, and have found some people who can read the texts and are willing to help identify the, so watch this space.

Work also continues on the Fond Rossiani, with seven volumes added this week. Although they are focused on Classical works, including two copies of the Bellum Jugurthinum and Bellum Catilinae by Sallust, Ross.508 (12^th C) and Ross.509 (15^th century) and a volume of Lucretius' De Rerum Natura, Ross.502. An unusual volume is Ross.197, see f.1r to the right, a devotional Psalter/Hours. This is something of a hybrid between the Psalter used in monastic and liturgical settings, and the later Book of Hours, for private devotion. The text begins with a devotional calendar, then contains a Psalter, Litany of the Saints, Gospel Pericopes, Hours for the Spirit, Passion and BVM, etc. It seems almost as if two exemplars were combined into a final manuscript, for example there is a second Litany near the end, where it would be expected in a Book of Hours. The decoration is a series of full-page enhabited borders at the start of large divisions and small decorated capitols throughout. It appears that only on F.1r is there the tromp l'oiel effect of the text as a sheet being supported within the space of the border, notice the green cord supporting it.

The bottom border is a flourish from the start of book of six poems commemorating the "Rebirth of Ferrara" by Ottavio Miccheli of Lucca, Vat.lat.5529 f.1r
