Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 37 of 2024

Only eight manuscripts were digitized this week, all on Thursday. They are divided across the Vat.lat, four, Ott.lat, three, and Barb.lat, one, collections.

To the right are drawings from the plans for St Peter's Square, as drawn by Bernini, found on f.1r of Vat.lat.14620. It shows the large colonnade, called the "Arms of the Church" in the guise of actual arms, welcoming the faithful.

At the bottom is the flag from the Gazzetta Privilegiata di Bologna, dated December 19, 1845. This is one of two pages of newspaper included in the binding with Vat.lat.9505, the third volume (of three) of Philippi Bigioli's drawings of Jesus and Mary, and the saints.
