Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 46 of 2024

Hopefully not an omen of things to come, only two manuscripts were digitized this week, one from Barb.lat and one from Ott.lat.

The manuscript from Ott.lat, Ott.lat.1438, is a 15th C copy of multiple texts on rhetoric and oration. To the right is f.6r, the start of an abridged copy of Bartolomeo da Bologna's Scriptum super Rhetoricam ad Herennium appears in a semi-cursive, highly abbreviated 15th C hand.

At the bottom is a line of elegant Italian 17th cursive from f.128v from Barb.lat.1993. This is the first line of a Riposta to Oppositione #20 from a text by Pompeo Ugonio
