Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 44 of 2024

There were only thirty manuscripts added this week, all on Monday. The largest contributor was Ott.lat, with eleven manuscripts, followed by Vat.lat with eight, Barb.lat with four, and Borg.Cin with three. One manuscript each came from Borg.lat , Chig, S.Maria.Magg, and Vat.gr. Due to some website weirdness at the Vatican, there was reporting of about two hundred of the Pal.lat manuscripts as new, which is incorrect, no new manuscripts have been added to that collection. Hopefully their code will be fixed next week as, in addition to breaking the tracking for that collection, it has broken the links in their own listing pages

To the right is a page from Barb.lat.4428, a manuscript of 17th C music by Pier Francesco Valentini. This particular page, 48, contains the Canon Isti quatuor non derelinquuntur, with the music written in a series of concentric rings. At the top an engraving of St. Cecilia has been pasted in, with the hand-written caption "Advocatæ Musicorum".

At the bottom is part of the top border of a Eusebian canon table from Chig.A.VI.164. This is table seven, found on f.9v, one of the later tables to include all four gospels.
