Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 43 of 2022

In total fifty-nine manuscripts were digitized this week. New¹ to the digitized collection is the Vatican Greek Papiri collection, coded Pap.Var.gr, of which four were digitized this week. Sadly there is no obvious catalogue of these late classical Egyptian texts. Like many papyrus documents, these are stored between glass, so the foliation is slightly odd for the longer ones, but to the right is Pap.vat.gr.3, which, as only a single sheet, isn't too complex. The rest of the week's manuscripts were lead by Ross, with twenty-four, then Vat.lat with thirteen and Ott.lat with eleven. The smaller fonds were Barb.lat, four, Urb.ebr, two, the aforementioned Pap.var.gr with four and one lone manuscript from the Cappella Sistina.

Below is a line of music from f.7r of Ott.lat.62, a Missal made for the Papal court at Avignon at the very end of the 14th C. This line of liturgy, "Cum angelis et archangelis, cum thron[is]" is from the proper of the mass, which is the part which changes based on the daily celebration. As identified in the rubric on f.1r, this is the first mass for Christmas, "In nativitate d[omi]ni ad p[ri]ma[m] missam int[ro]it[us]".
