Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 39 of 2024

A total of fifty-three manuscripts were digitized this week. The largest number were from Vat.lat, with eighteeen, and Ott.lat with sixteen. Nine came from Barb.lat, completing the triumvirate of fonds that have been in the majority over the last few weeks. Further manuscripts came from Bonc, with four, Chigi and Vat.gr, with two each, and one from Capp.Sist. One also came from Borg.ill, a tiny collection of manuscripts from the Balkans.

To the right is the title page, found on f.Vr, of Barb.lat.495. This is a 17th C manuscript of the Canon of the Mass designed to replicate the look of a printed book. Here the title page emulates a copper-plate engraving that might have been seen as the title page of a printed book.

At the bottom is a line of Glagolitic text from f.160v of Borg.ill.4, a Old Slavonic Missale for the Use of Rome from 1371. This is part of a computus table for calculating the proper date of Easter.
