Only seventeen manuscripts were digitized this week. This makes it more challenging to discern patterns, but the three fonds represented are Vat.lat, with eight, Ott.lat with seven, and Barb.lat with two.

To the right is f.1r, the title page, from Barb.lat.597, a book instructing a bishop how to prepare for the celebration of the mass. This copy was made for Antonio Barberino, one of the Cardinal nephews of Pope Urban VIII. The angel at the center and the clouds of glory have a weird look to them due the oxidization of the silver leaf, or possibly ink, which would have originally gleamed from the page in candlelight. The book the angel is holding is detailed enough to read, starting "Ne reminiscaris Domine delicta nostra vel", the antiphon that leads into the seven penitential Psalms and the first text in this manuscript, starting on f.1v. Thus the angel is recursively presenting the manuscript in which we find the illustration.

Because of the low volume of manuscripts this week, the bottom image is also from Barb.lat.597. The Baroque manuscript decorative program has three sides of elaborate borders on every page, and below is the bottom of f.15v, the last full page of text
