Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 20 of 2022

A total of forty-nine manuscripts were digitized this week. Following recent trends, the largest number were from Reg.lat, with fewer Pal.lat than in prior weeks. Rossiani contributed eight manuscripts, but only three from the 9xxx range of Vat.lat. The week was completed with a single, unidentified Indian manuscript, Vat.ind.72

To the right is the calendar for January(foliated as f.Vr) from Reg.lat.1738, an early 14th C Breviary from the convent of Santa Susanna in Civita Castellana. This is an extremely complex calendar, with multiple generations of writing and a wealth of para-texts, that is texts apart from the principal calendar of saints days. The Vatican has helpfully also provided a UV image of these calendar pages, which assists in reading some of the later hands, which have faded considerably.

The bottom border is from f.2v of Reg.lat.1939 , a 15th C copy of Firmiani Lactantius' Institutionum Divinarum
