Vatican Manuscripts Added Week 40 of 2025

An extremely quiet week, with only five manuscripts digitized. Of these four are from the Ott.lat collection, and the final one is from Comb.

To the right is f.3r from Ott.lat.1713, a 14th C manuscript of some of Seneca's tragedies, glossed, together with several pieces about Seneca. This page is one of the later, a text about reading Seneca, _Accessus in Senecae tragoedias..

At the bottom is a line of lovely 16th C Italian cursive from f.2r of Ott.lat.1761. This is a collection of various Papal letters, council acts and other Pope stuff
