Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 41 of 2024

Only fourteen manuscripts were digitized this week, all on Friday. They were split across the recent friends, Vat.lat giving six, Barb.lat giving four, and three from Ott.lat. The last manuscript is from Borg.ill.

At the right is f.2r from Barb.lat.1449, a 15th C copy of Thomas Waleys' Campus florum, a book of extracts from the Fathers and other important Church writers. This part of the book is a 6-column listing of concepts, but without the associated page numbers that would make it into a functional index

At the bottom is a line of text from the middle of f.1r of Vat.lat.10745. This is a large charter, with two copies of the same text, perhaps an chirograph or other form of split legal instrument that was never divided for whatever reason. This is the last line of the first instance of the text followed by the notarial "end of the text" line
