The Vatican continues to divide their manuscript scanning time with the incunabulum section this week. Perhaps for that reason, perhaps due to increasing COVID cases, there were only 21 manuscripts added to the online repository. An interesting milestone, the exact number of manuscripts in the repository is not always easy to judge, as some have gotten removed over time, but both the Vatican count and my count have now crossed the 20,000 mark for the first time. This is only counting the high-quality color scans, not the microfilms they scanned back in 2017, which is quite the achievement!
An iinteresting manuscript added this week, just in time for Halloween, is Vat.lat.8247, a Breviary from Transylvania dated to 1460 with an ownership mark on f.2v, "Iste liber est..." (see to the right).
