Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 30 of 2021

Only twenty-eight manuscripts were added this week. The pattern of the last few months continues, with Borg.arm manuscripts, Vat.gr and Vat.lat > 9,200 making up the bulk of the additions.

To the right is f.2r from Vat.lat.9339, a 17th C portolian chart of the Mediterrenean that has some connection with the Knights of Malta. The codex begins with this chart showing the Canary Islands, Morocco and the western edge of Spain and Portugal, and moves west through the book ending at the north-eastern edge, showing Greece and Gallipoli.

The bottom border is from Vat.gr.1936, f.1r. The manuscript is a 16th C collection of homilies, beginning with a Procatechesis on this page, followed by several other writings by Cyril of Jerusalem.
