Vacation season is over and the Vatican is back to work, adding forty-seven manuscripts this week. In what seems to be becoming a new pattern, Ott.lat contributed the most with seventeen, followed by Barb.lat with nine and Barb.gr with eight. No other fond added many, both Vat.lat and Vat.gr added three, two from P.I.O (both in the slav subfond) and one each from Vat.ind, Vat.ar, Capp.Sist, Capp.Giulia, and Barb.or.

To the right is the title page, f.1r, from Ott.lat.458, the acts of the Sixth Ecumenical Council, aka the Third Council of Constantinople. This was a strange council as it affirmed the non-ecumenical Lateran Council of 649, supporting the position of Pope Martin I, who died in exile due to that council. The manuscript was owned by Angelo Fasolo, with his arms appearing at the bottom of the page, but those were later painted over with the arms of Ludovico Prodocator.

At the bottom is a line of liturgical music from f.90r of Barb.lat.549. The text under these notes, on a sort of prototype staff where the red line is 'f', read "et dicent gloria tibi domine" which is part of the respond Fundata est domus domini found in the Mass recited at the dedication of a new church. This manuscript is a Pontifical, that is the bits of liturgy specific to a Bishop, and the dedication Mass was one of his particular responsibilities.
