2023 Week 27
2023 Week 26
Only five manuscripts were added this week to the Vatican archives, two more of the late 17th C song books from Barb.lat, and one each from Vat.ar, Vat.copt and Vat.ind. To the right is f.11v from Vat.copt.18, a bilingual liturgical manuscript dated to anno martyrum 1247 which converts to 1531 CE. It contains the Office for the evening and morning cen...
2023 Week 25
A total of fifty-nine manuscripts were uploaded this week, all on Monday. Whatever pattern may have been emerging over the last few weeks, this weeks fond breakdown does not seem to follow. The largest number were in Vat.lat, with twenty-four manuscripts, including many 19th C antiquarian works, followed by Barb.gr with fourteen. The rest were very small...
2023 Week 24
Only seventeen manuscripts were digitized this week. Due to the small sample set, determining any patterns is unreliable, but Barb.lat and Vat.ar were the top contributors with four each, Ott.lat added three, Barb.gr and Vat.lat added two and one each from Ross and Vat.turc The image to the right is some 19th C illumination, which is always a bit of a h...
2023 Week 23
Only forty-two manuscripts were digitized this week, the first full week of June for 2023. Continuing the pattern-ish of the last weeks, Vat.lat, with twelve, and Ott.lat, with eleven are the two most popular fonds. Following up is Var.ar with eight, and then a large number of smaller sets. Two each were contributed by Barb.lat and Reg.gr, and one from...
2023 Week 22
A total of fifty-three manuscripts were digitized this week, all uploaded on Monday. Somewhat similar in distribution to the last few weeks, though with a higher percentage of manuscripts from a specific fond, in this case eighteen from Ott.lat. The rest are widely spread, with eight from Vat.lat, five from Var.ar and Reg.gr, four from Borg.ar, three ea...
2023 Week 21
Despite the Vatican Library being offline for two days due to a fire under Rome's streets, a total of sixty-three manuscripts were digitized this week. It was a bit of a weird week in terms of patterns, although Ott.lat has been a consistent contributor recently, and led this week with twenty. The rest was an assortment of smaller groups, eight from Vat...
2023 Week 20
Due to the Feast of the Ascension falling this week, the Vatican digitizers were rather quiet, uploading nineteen manuscripts in total. The most, eight, were contributed by Reg.gr, with Ott.lat adding five and Vat.lat four. One manuscript each was added from Barb.lat and Capp.Giulia, completing the weeks work. The Barberini volume, Barb.lat.4135 is one o...
2023 Week 19
A total of fifty-three manuscripts were digitized this week by the Vatican. It seems that the work is settling into a new pattern of diversity, with no fond contributing a majority of the manuscripts. This week Reg.gr contributed the most, with thirteen, but Both Ott.lat and Vat.lat added nine, and Barb.lat added eight. Smaller contributions came from P...
2023 Week 18
This week the Vatican was back up to speed, with a total of seventy manuscripts digitized. Latin-script manuscripts predominate this week, with nineteen coming from Vat.lat, seventeen from Ott.lat and 16 from Barb.lat. Other languages follow, with six from Vat.ar, five from Reg.gr, and four from Pal.gr. The week closes out with two from Ross and a rare...
2023 Week 17
Another quiet week at the Vatican, only twenty-seven manuscripts were added. Greek manuscripts were the main focus, Reg.gr contributing fourteen to be the largest single fond, and Pal.gr adding six for the number two spot. The rest came from Reg.lat with four, and one each from Barb.lat, Capp.sist and Vat.ar. To the right is f.1r from Capp.sist.28, ano...
