A total of sixty-one manuscripts were added to the repository this week. A large number seem to be 18th texts, though the Pierluigi Galletti flood has trickled down to just one more volume this week. Another copy of Durand's Speculum Judiciale, Vat.lat.2629 was added this week, bringing the total count of those manuscripts digitized to five. In the realm of the sciences a copy of Serapion's Aggregatus in medicinis simplicibus, translated into Latin by Simonis Ianuensis and Abraham Tortuosiensis came online as Vat.lat.2421 and Vat.lat.4275 contains several math and astronomy texts.

Sometimes a manuscript is striking not because of gold or beautiful art, but for what it might tell about its long history. Vat.lat.4218 is an Atlantic Bible, a single large-format(60cm tall in this case) codex containing the entire text of the Bible, from 11th Century Italy, probably Rome. At least that's probably what it should have been, today it is a bit of a mess. It begins with the end of a Capitula, then there are the Epistles to Titus and Philemon, both attributed to Paul, and then another Capitula before it launches into the book of Psalms, starting right in the middle with Ps. 78. The psalms are in a distinctive 3-column format ending with psalm 151 on f.7v (to the right), which has the interestingly accurate rubric "hic psalmus in hebreis uoluminibus non habetur" (This psalm is not in the Hebrew book). Then we're off to the "Prolog of Solomon" before the book of Ecclesiastes. The volume ends with the Second Timothy, the beginning of a Capitula and indication that the Epistle to Titus should follow. Which means the first 2 folios are probably from the end of the book, even the Capitula numbers match. The final endleaf is ruled in pink ink, which matches none of the actual layout in the manuscript.
