Only twelve manuscripts were digitized this week. The bulk of these fall in the Reg.lat, fond, though a couple more Ross in the 5xx range snuck in as well. Only a single Vat.lat was added, and a 19th C History of the Indian Subcontinent, Borg.ind.19 rounds out the week

The rock star this week is Reg.lat.2077 a 7th C copy of Jerome/Gennadius, Eusebius, and friends written atop a 5th C copy of Cicero. As is their practice with palimpsests, the Vatican has included UV photography that allows the under-text to show through more clearly, though the nature of the document, with both texts having the same orientation makes it harder to read. To the right is f.81v, where the upper hand, starting the genealogy of man with Adam, Seth, Enos... is clearly visible alongside the lower hand, Cicero's oration "Against Verres" "est pecunia an his ho-mo..."

The bottom border is from a tree of virtues at the end of Ross.567, f.9r. This is an early 13th C Italian copy of Peter of Poitiers Compendium Historiae in Genealogia Christi, a text that often appears in a long scroll, but was here designed to be a codex. This happy little fellow is the line of descent from eloquentia to dialetica, rethorica and (probably) gramatica.
