2023 Week 16Only six manuscripts were digitized this week, three from
Reg.gr, two from Capp.sist and one from
Vat.ar. Despite this extremely small sample, it is interesting to see no manuscripts from the usual "large" fonds, nothing from
Vat.lat or
Barb.lat,
Reg.lat or Ross. To the right is f.56r from Cap.sist.10, one of the many Antiphonaria made for pope Leo X th...
2023 Week 15After a few days off at the beginning of the week for Easter, thirty-two manuscripts were uploaded to the archives. The small total number makes it difficult to establish if the distribution signals a new working pattern, but the plurality of manuscripts this week, ten, came from
Barb.lat. With seven from
Reg.gr, five from
Vat.ar, four from
Pal.gr, and ...

2023 Week 10A total of fifty-one manuscripts were digitized this week. One pattern that has re-emerged is the weekly cycle, with the mass of manuscripts getting uploaded on Monday, with only a few getting added during the rest of the week.

Reg.lat ...
