Only eleven manuscripts were digitized in the past week by the Vatican. In what is starting to be a pattern, Capp.Sist was the primary fond, contributing a full nine manuscripts. The remaining objects were one each from Capp.Sist.Diari and P.I.O.slav.
As an interesting bit of trivia, this distribution of manuscripts means that the oldest volume is no earlier than 1500, and probably the oldest is Capp.Sist.670, a document from Pope Paul III about the canonery of Verdun and a prebend of S. Mary Magdalene for the singers of the Cappella Pontificia dated to 1537. To the right is f.3r from this manuscript, showing the distinctive, if difficult to read, script.
At the bottom is a title line of Russian from f.1v of P.I.O.slav.48, a 16th C evangeliary from the Slavic subsection of the library of the Pontifical Oriental Institute
