Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 23 of 2021

There were sixty-two manuscripts added this week to the online repository. Additions continuing recent trends include a section of Greek manuscripts from Vat.gr, more Armenian texts, now starting to focus on Vat.ar, and many more volumes related to Gaetano Marini. A small addition was made, two volumes, to the Borg.tonch collection of Vietnamese texts, bring that collection almost to completion (there is one more codex to digitize).

To the right is a page of a copy of Porphyry's Isogogue, with glosses by Gennadius Scholarius (perhaps other authors) in both the large 3/4 margin surrounding the text and interlinearly. Sadly the interlinear red ink has faded to being almost unreadable. This is Vat.gr.1777 f. 18r

The bottom border is from an 11th C copy of Theophanes the Confessor's Chronographia, Vat.gr.167 f.1r
