A total of fifty-three manuscripts were digitized this week, all uploaded on Monday. Somewhat similar in distribution to the last few weeks, though with a higher percentage of manuscripts from a specific fond, in this case eighteen from Ott.lat. The rest are widely spread, with eight from Vat.lat, five from Var.ar and Reg.gr, four from Borg.ar, three each from Ross, Barb,gr and Barb.or, two from Barb.lat and one each from Capp.Sist and Reg.lat. The high proportion of non-Latin alphabets continues, nearly 40% this week.

To the right is f.91r from Ott.lat.258. Most of the manuscript, ff.1r-90v, is a collection of Carolingian Capitularie documents, originally compiled around 827 by St. Ansegisus, but the last eight folios, starting with f.91 are from a 11th or early 12th C Graduale. The music is notated with unstaffed diastematic neumes, possibly from southern France. An interesting detail of this page is that the red "text line" running between words to help the eye follow across the wide spaces was clearly added after the neumes were written, as it has to take a ... creative route to stay between lines of music.

The bottom image is from f.152r (it's foliated backwards, so this is only the 4th opening) of Barb.or.16. It is a book of prayers in Arabic and Turkish, followed by part of the text of the Quran, but this line is not either of those but an example of what the catalogue calls "magical letters". They're not words, just letters used as part of perhaps a magical amulet or formula.
