Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 21 of 2021

There were forty-one manuscripts digitized this week. Work continues this week digitizing Armenian manuscripts, both in the Vat.arm collection and in Borg.arm. In the later, 38 of the 88 shelfmarks have been digitized so far. To the right an image of St. Luke from Vat.arm.43. As far as I can tell this manuscript is uncatalogued, the main reference on the Armenian Manuscripts* was printed in 1927, and covers the Vat.arm series only up to Vat.lat.33. It appears to be the beginning, or perhaps a small segment, of each of the four gospels, proceeded by an author portrait. The evangelists are accompanied by their common attributes. Here, on f.6v, we can see an ox, looking slightly dazed as seems to be common, at the bottom of the frame.

Additional digitizations added many volumes of the work by, and adjacent to, Gaetano Marini, found in Vat.lat.9000 ±100. At the bottom is a small line filler from a copy of Peter the Canter's Distinctiones seu Summa quae dicitur Abel, Vat.lat.5710 f.1v. This manuscript has a very complex, almost diagramatic, layout.
