Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 44 of 2022

A total of forty-eight manuscripts were digitized this past week, all but one of them added on Monday. This week the distribution of collections changed again, with Vat.lat and Ott.lat contributing the most with twenty and thirteen respectively. Ross only added seven, and Barb.lat two, down significantly from recent weeks. Completing the week we have two musical manuscripts from the Cappella Sistina and one Byzantine history work from Vat.gr.

To the right is the first page of Ross.1087, a copy of Baldus de Ubaldis Lectura super I-II Codices from 1406. This is the first in a four volume set of the famous jurists' commentary works. At the top of the page you can see him, sitting behind a lectern, teaching students who are either looking in their own copy of the text or taking notes. Perhaps this is to represent his time as a professor at Perugina, where he taught for thirty-three years.

The bottom border is from f.2v of Vat.lat.7230, the dedication block from a translation of the Strategicus sive De imperatoris institutione.
