Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 36 of 2022

Seventy-five manuscripts were digitized this week into the Vatican repository. Unsurprisingly the pattern of the last several weeks continues, with Pal.lat and Barb.lat contributing the majority of the manuscripts, with forty and twenty respectively. The remaining manuscripts came from Vat.lat, with eight, Ross and Ott.lat with three a piece and one more from Reg.lat, which continues to creep forward towards completion

Because of the organization of the Pal.lat collection, and the sequential work of the upload team, this week's additions are principally legal texts, the various legal codes of Justinian, the Digest, the Novels, and the Infortiatum. Most of these are presented as a main text in the middle of the page, with gloss surrounding. A fine Bolognese example of this is Pal.lat.738. From 1260-ish, it contains the text of Justinian's Digests, the imperial collection of all laws and precedent up to that point, surrounded with the Glossa Ordinaria by Franciscus Accursius. Between the lines of the main text there are small letters set off with dots (eg .e.) which key to matching symbols in the margins surrounding the gloss. These link the text to the commentary so a student knows where to look for expansion and explanation. The image to the right, f.68v shows the end of book 4 and the beginning of book 5, of the thirty book text.

Another legal document is Pal.lat.770, this text was written around 1465 and although it has space for glosses they were never written in, leaving huge blank margins on the pages. The image below is taken from the border of f.1r
