Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 10 of 2022

Fifty-two manuscripts were digitized this week, including the expected number of Reg.lat volumes, a few Pal.lat, and more of the Antiquarian works of the Vat.lat.9xxx series. Some of the less common fonds represented are Rossiani, one each from Vat.ind and Vat.indocin, two each from Barb.gr and Borgh and three works from the Cappella Giulia containing 19th Mass settings.

To the right is a page from the middle of Reg.lat.1816, a Psalter written by the scribe Antonius Sinibaldus. Although the first 20 or so folios are very water damaged, by f.188r, this image, is in excellent condition. The text is the "Prayer of the Three Boys", that is the prayer of Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah from Daniel 3:52- while they were in the furnace.

The bottom border is from f.2r of Reg.lat.1398, an anonymous Italian collection of speeches to be used for rhetorical models.
