Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 32 of 2024

Only twenty-three manuscripts digitized this week as we steam headlong towards August vacation. The largest source this week was Barb.lat, with nine, followed by Ott.lat and Vat.lat with five each. Two came from Vat.et, a rarely-seen Fond, and one each from Chig and Vat.gr

To the right is f.1v from Barb.lat.1668, a book of tables for studying grammar and rhetoric from 1536. It is signed on the title page by one Joannis Bluzenii, but I have been unable to find any connection for that name. This page in particular is fascinating, containing a key to topical symbols used throughout the rest of the book, identifying various genres of text. There is a large table of similar Notae beginning on f.63r, but this is the prefatory table.

At the bottom is a bit of the edge of f.7r from Ott.lat.347, letters from Aenea Sylvii Piccolimini (Later Pope Pius II). This letter appears to be to Zbigniew Oleśnicki, Cardinal of Santa Prisca in Rome, and the first Polish Cardinal
