Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 45 of 2024

Only five manuscripts were digitized this past week. These consisted of three from Barb.lat and two from Ott.lat. Sadly the data issues with a significant number of Pal.lat manuscripts, and a much smaller number of Reg.gr ones, continues to cause processing issues. The good news is that the block of affected manuscripts seems not to have changed, so hopefully the problem won't get worse

To the right is f.54v from Ott.lat.1237, a 14th C Virgil, containing the usual triad of Bucolica, Georgica, and Aeneid, some with interlinear glosses. This page, with text from book four of the Aeneid also contains some scholia by Gaius Sulpicius Apollinaris.

At the bottom are two lines of text, with marginal annotations, from f.19v of Barb.lat.1859. This text is a copy of Peter of Riga's Aurora, which is part Bible rewritten in verse, part allegorical interpretation.
