Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 34 of 2024

Another quietish week brings thirty-one more manuscripts into the Vatican repositories. This week the bulk of them, fifteen, came from Ott.lat. Eight came from Vat.lat, six from Barb.lat and one each from P.I.O. and Urb.lat.

The 1465-66 manuscript of Macrobius' Dream of Scipio was written by Antonio di Domenico da Toffia, confident of Pope Paul II and Bessarion, and better known as Toffio. All, except for the bottom of f.33r and the entirety of f.33v, seen to the right. Those lines of Ott.lat.1137 were written by Bartolomeo Sanvito, for reasons that are somewhat unclear. Although it has travelled separately, it is thought to have been originally part of Toffio's larger Macrobius volume now Cambridge MS Add 4095.

At the bottom is part of the edge from f.6r of Vat.lat.11207. This is a missale, missing its first leaf at least, that appears to have been made for a bishop, seen here in the top band from the first page of text. Whether it was ever delivered is unclear, there is a shield at the bottom of the page, also supported by putti, for arms, but it has been left blank.
