Despite it being Holy Week, the Library managed to upload sixty-five new manuscripts this week, all on Monday. Work continues agressively on the Reginensis collections with seven from Reg.gr and sixteen from Reg.lat, pushing the collection to a total of 2,046 digitized, or 95.5% of the 2,113 manuscripts remaining in the Fond. Reg.lat tied with Var.ar for the most contributed this week, followed closely by Ott.lat with fourteen. The remaining contributions came piecemeal, three each from Vat.lat and Barb.lat, two from Pal.gr and one each from Capp.Giulia, Capp.Sist.Diari, Chig, and Ross.

To the right is f.306r from Batb.lat.588, an 11th pandect, that is entire text of the bible in a single volume. This is of the type often referred to as "Atlantic Bibles", as their extreme size (60 x 40 cm, ~ 400 folios originally), makes it quite the absolute unit of a manuscript, one only capable of being held up by Atlas. This page has the start of the Gospel of Matthew, preceeded by the rubric "Incipit eu[an]g[e]l[i] S[ancti] Math[aeu]m". The artist has screwed up the decorations entirely, the space for the "L" clearly left to the left of the list of ancestors is empty with the capitol L put up above. There it takes up the space that would have held the rest of the word "iber", meaning that had to be squished up, somewhat ungracefully, above "Generationis"

At the bottom are two lines of the extremely lovely hand found in Vat.ar.1392, in this case f.6r. This is a 14th C copy of a text by Abu 'I-baqa analyzing the grammar of the Quran
