Eleven total manuscripts were digitized in the past week. These consisted of six from Barb.lat, four from Ott.lat, and a single volume, a 17th C catalogue of printed books, from Vat.lat.
To the right is f.1r of Barb.lat.2750, a 15th C collection of papal decrees. The page here starts a text to the people of Venice from Pope Clement, though which of the seventeen, fourteen popes and three more declared antipope, is unclear. This page has borders in a particularly nice and colorful version of bianchi girari/white vine, a decorative style popular alongside Humanist hands in manuscripts.
At the bottom is a line of swoopy text from f.9r of Barb.lat.1897, Giovanni Battista Doni's work entitled Lyra barberina αμφιχορδος. Unlike the later printed edition of this work, the manuscript includes a careful and accurate drawing of the lyre on f.1r. One of the interesting features of this era of paper manuscript is how much the ink bleeds/eats through. The text is often visible 2 leaves away
