Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 16 of 2022

Only thirty-nine manuscripts were digitized this week, a short one due to Easter break. Trends continue with the fonds represented, in order, Pal.lat, Reg.lat, Ross and Vat.lat.9xxx. This week's unusual ones come from Barb.lat, two represented, and a single volume from Vat.estr.or. This last one is an imperial decree from the Daoguang Emperor, dated in the text to 1839.

To the right is f.19v from Pal.lat.1723, a text on Computus by Abbo of Fleury. This one is filled with diagrams of dubious accuracy and explanatory value. This one is part of the apparatus for calculating the date of easter.

The border at the bottom is from f.1r of Pal.lat.918, a 15th C copy of Plutarch's Lives, translated into Latin.
