Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 14 of 2024

Another quiet week at the Vatican with twenty-six manuscripts digitized. In what is seeming to be a new pattern, the bulk of them, seventeen, were from the Ott.lat collection. Following that were Vat.gr and Barb.lat with three each and two from Barb.gr. There was only a single musical volume from Chigiani digitized, that source group seems to have dried up.

At the right is a page of text from a 15th C copy of Leonardo Bruni's Commentary on Aristotle's Economics, a text not actually written by Aristotle, but really translated and annotated by Bruni. On f.8v of Ott.lat.1398 we see marginal notes pointing us to Virgil and Pliny.

At the bottom is a bit of the keyboard line from f.15v of Chig.Q.VII.167, an 18th C manuscript containing act three of Carlo Franchi's Il Siroe, which premiered at the Teatro Argentina on February 13, 1770
