Only thirty-six manuscripts were digitized by the Vatican this week. As with recent weeks, the bulk came from the Barb.lat fond, a full twenty this week. Following that was Vat.lat, contributing six, Capp.Sist.Diari with three, and one each from Ott.lat, P.I.O. and Vat.gr. Four manuscripts were added from the Comboniani, a collection of 281 manuscripts, principly in Ethiopic as these examples are. Prior to this week only a single volume of this collection had been fully digitized.

To the right is f.1r of Vat.lat.11430. This is a mid-15th C copy of Quintus Curtius Rufus's History of Alexander the Great, one branch of the family of Alexander romances that were massively popular in the middle ages and Renaissance. This manuscript is notable for it's unusually narrow format and very tremulous hand (cf. the Tremulous Hand of Worcester)

At the bottom is the red subscription/colophon from the end of f.262v of Vat.gr.831. This states that the manuscript was written at the famed Stoudios Monastery in Constantinople in 1446, the very end of its nearly 1000 year existence
