Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 30 of 2024

There were only seven manuscripts digitized this week, all on Friday. Of these, four were from Barb.lat and the remaining three from Vat.lat, too small a sample to draw any firm conclusions about digitization patterns.

To the right is f.3r from Vat.lat.11219. This is the title page from a 19th C manuscript about the Pontifical Expedition of 1840, which went to explore Egypt on behalf of Gregory XVI. This page was the title page, but also apparently a source of blank paper for random sketches, some Egyptian, some clearly not.

At the bottom is a line of text from p.890 of Barb.lat.1640. This is a 17th C collection and explanation of the Bulls of Gregory XV. This line of text is from the index at the back.
