Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 1 of 2024

The year starts with thirty-one new manuscripts digitized. Both Barb.lat and Vat.lat contributed eleven, Ott.lat four and P.I.O. two. The week was completed with a single manuscript from each of Pal.gr, Patetta and Vat.gr

One of the more unusual manuscripts digitized this week was Vat.lat.6462, listed in the Vatican catalogue and Baroffio's Iter Liturgicum Italicum as a 17th C Breviary, localized to St. Sofia's in Benevento, Italy. This is not quite true, however. It is a 17th C manuscript, and it is a Breviary/Ordinal from Sancta Sofia, but it is actually a 17th C copy of Vat.lat.4928, a well preserved early 12th C manuscript in the recognizable Beneventan Script. To the right is f.27r of Vat.lat.6462(Bottom) and f.15r of Vat.lat.4928(top), showing the same text in the two manuscripts.

At the bottom is a fragment of f.154r from Vat.lat.6072, an 11th or early 12th C work on the Pauline Epistles by ps-Haimo of Halberstadt. This decorative element was once the stem of a large vineworked letter 'P' to start "Paulus"
