A total of thirty-nine manuscripts were digitized this week. They contain mostly volumes from the Reg.lat, wiith fewer fewer of the Vat.lat.9xxx than in recent weeks, with only five this week. The bulk of those are works from a new 19th C antiquarian, Hieronymi Amati (not the 17th C violin maker by the same name). The week is rounded out by a copy of Usnard's Martyrology from the Chigiani collection, a few volumes from Ross, two parts of an early 19th C Japanese report on Russia in Vat.estr.or.177 and a copy of Nachmanides'
commentary on the Five Books of Moses in Urb.ebr.9.
Breaking with recent practice, only one volume from the Pal.lat collection was added in, and this is not even a manuscript. Pal.lat.1334 is more properly termed a Block Book (Xylographic work), rather than a manuscript or incunable. These were printed from wood blocks with a single block representing each page, both image and text. In f.9r, to the right, we see an illustration of a proverb about the weather, "si vitulus in nube vi coeli factus claret", although the precise meaning and source of this is unclear.
The border at the bottom is from f.70r Reg.lat.1884, which is one of the documents in the Regiensis collection relating to Queen Christina herself. This volume is a series of plans for her apartments in Rome.
