Due to the Nativity of John the Baptist on Monday, there were only six manuscripts digitized this week. These included two volumes from Vat.lat, two volumes, but part of the same shelfmark, from Capp.sist, and one each from Barb.lat and Ott.lat

To the right is f.2v of Vat.lat.10657, a complex page from a complex manuscript. This is a palimpsest where both the upper and lower texts were written at Santa Maria a Mare in the Trimiti Islands. This monastery has a long complex history, with deep connections to Montecassino. The under text is an 11th C Graduale, seen here with the elaborate initial A and the traces of music in the blank pages. The upper text is a 13th C Cartulary, preserving charters of the monastery. Long after this manuscript was used and left the island, the abbey's library was transferred to Naples, where it was destroyed during WWII, thus making this one of the few of their manuscripts which survives.

At the bottom is a line of musical notation from f.8v of Capp.Sist.155.pt.A. This is the first line of the treble part of a multi-part setting of "Gloria Tibi"
