Only nineteen manuscripts were digitized in this week, despite the summer vacation being officially over. Unexpectedly Capp.Sist contributed seven, the same number as the more anticipated Ott.lat. The rest of the week's work consisted of a single manuscript each from Barb.lat, Capp.Giulia, Pal.Lat, Vat.ebr, and Vat.gr.

It's unusual to see Pal.lat in the new digitizations, even for a single volume. Almost the entire collection was digitized many years with funding from Heidelberg as part of their Bibliotheca Palatina project, but this volume had been lost at some point in the late 18th C and was only rediscovered in early 2026, and then purchased back by the Vatican.

To the right is f.23r from Ott.lat.3110, an 18th C album of architectural sketches by one Pierleone Ghezzi. He was painter for the Papal Treasury, appointed in 1708, and was made a knight by Francesco Farnese in 1710.

At the bottom are drawings of two coins from the reign of Pope Clement XI, dating to the first years of the 18th C. These are on f.23r of Ott.lat.3123, a catalogue of coins issued by him and others, including the Roman Senate.
