Astronomer from Merv

This week's batch of microfilms from the Vatican Library contains many treasures. One is the Greek translation of a book by the astronomer and scientist ʻAbd al-Raḥmān Khāzinī of Merv, Iran, active 1121. Wikipedia. Rome Reborn: This short treatise, translated by Gregory Chioniades, describes Tusi's lunar theory. Here is a figure of the motion of the moon:
See SLU: Inscribed: Liber qui inscribitur Santzarēs
Here are the first 300 of the 609 new Vaticanus Graecus items. LQ indicates "low quality", and applies to them all. I have divided the list into two parts and will offer the rest in 24 hours. The 1,733 new Vaticanus Latinus items are a bigger challenge to be dealt with later.

The second category, very likely kept on a different server, comprises digital versions of old microfilms, mostly black and white but a few in color, which are essentially the same as those made available in recent years on CD-ROM by the Vatican photographic workshop at 50 euros and upwards apiece. The URLS, marked "low quality", are permanent links, which I am guessing will remain valid when these films are ultimately replaced by proper scans.

Keeping track of all this cannot be done without help from software. I use an extension, Distill, available for the Chrome and Firefox browsers.

One of its benefits is that it can be programmed to only monitor the parts of the index pages that matter. For each collection, I create a monitor that ignores the page decoration and thumbnail images and only extracts the the plain shelfmarks from the page as served:
//body[@class='script-active']/div[@class='main']/div[contains(@class,'fluid')]/div[@class='shadow-content']//div//ul[@class='loaded']/li//p

I am experimenting with a second monitor that drills down through the DOM tree to the words "low quality" to detect when that flag disappears (after a high-quality scan replaces a microfilm):
"//body[@class='script-active']/div[@class='main']/div[contains(@class,'fluid')]/div[@class='shadow-content']//div//ul[@class='loaded']/li//figure/div/span"

Greek Night Sky

Some of the most important real releases of new manuscripts by the Vatican Library in the past week are the many Vatican Greek items newly scanned and digitized.

One of these prizes is Vat.gr.1291, a 9th-century manuscript of the "handy tables" by the Late Antique Greek astronomer Ptolemy for astronomical observation. The Rome Reborn catalog remarks: Ptolemy's Handy Tables (4th century) became the basis of later astronomical tables in Greek, Arabic, and Latin. The Handy Tables allow the calculation of solar, lunar, and planetary positions and eclipses of the sun and moon far more rapidly than the tables included in the Almagest. This early and elegant uncial manuscript is well-known for its illumination drawn elegantly in white against the dark blue of the night sky, showing the northern part of the zodiac.


Another highlight is Vat.gr.1288, containing the Vatican Dio Cassius, books 78-79, the sole extant source of those two books of this ancient work of history (see Roger Pearse for more).

  2. Vat.gr.12

Science in the Year 1000

Ending an extraordinary week for DigiVatLib, where nearly 4,000 microfilms were placed online as scans, I bring you a list of the new Ottoboniani Latin codices.

One could argue that one of main manuscripts in terms of history here here is one that grew from an elaborate and devilishly clever early medieval political plot, the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals.

The spectacular Pontificale of King Mathias Corvin of Hungary is undoubtedly the greatest item of art in this bunch of 407 codices, but there is also one fine jewel in the history of science. Ott.lat.477, Isidore's Etymologiae in a 13th-century manuscript, is special because of an insertion: this little-known text comprises a history of medicine and a summary of anatomy.

Its origin is Hebrew, from the Book of Asaph (4th-6th century CE) and what one might describe as a history-of-science course for Jewish medical students, and its Latin elaboration, a progressive version with many alterations, reviews the place of Hippocrates, Galen and others in the long course of studies of the human body.

This 11th-century text is found in eight medieval manuscripts, attached to Etymologiae Book 4 (Medicine), and demonstrates that medieval science after the year 1000 was not fixed or trapped in a corset of ancient knowledge, but kept altering and being revised.

See a comprehensive article and edition by Carmen Codoñer in CRMH. Here is the start of the text on the far left of frame 54 (which Codoñer gives as f. 44ra, though the page is surely a verso), beginning De initio medicine…

There has also been progress this week in understanding why the 4,000 are not yet scans in color. There has been a public assurance from @DigitaVaticana this week on Twitter, light-hearted but seriously, that the proper scans will be done.

The black and white versions are just a temporary solution to the pressure from scholars to at least see "something“ of the Vatican treasures. Those scans are available for purchase at an average price of 70 euros per CD-ROM, so one could argue that putting all 3,950 sets online for free is a gift worth 276,500 euros (296,000 dollars). 

As far as I can understand, digitizing microfilm can be automated, and there are good arguments for taking this "American" approach, instead of being ultra-perfect and slow.  With 80,000 items to digitize and fewer than 7,000 completed, the task ahead remains enormous and will be a matter of many years.

Here is the list:
  1. Ott.lat.3, Martyrologium, 12th or 13th century in Beneventan hand, See Lowe p. 73.
  2. Ott.lat.6
  3. Ott.lat.7
  4. Ott.lat.8
  5. Ott.lat.35
  6. Ott.lat.38
  7. Ott.lat.62
  8. Ott.lat.65
  9. Ott.lat.70
  10. Ott.lat.88
  11. Ott.lat.93, contains one of the most famous forgeries of the early Middle Ages, the Pseudo-Isidorian Decretals, written by a scholar (or group of scholars) using the pseudonym of Isidore Mercator. They were probably a group of Frankish clerics writing in the second quarter of the 9th century. To defend the position of bishops against metropolitans and secular authorities, they created documents purportedly authored by early popes and council documents. This manuscript is held to be the best of class A1 as used by historians working on this extraordinary medieval detective story. For more, see Wikipedia

See Rome Reborn by Anthony Grafton, who notes, "The humanist and papal bureaucrat Raffaele Maffei, "il Volterrano," recast traditional hymns to San Vittorio (the patron saint of his home town, Volterra) in various Horatian meters, adding a biography of the saint in Ciceronian Latin."

  351. Ott.lat.2974, Il Libro dell Arte, often translated as "The Craftsman's Handbook," by Italian painter Cennino d' Andrea Cennini. This is one of the four main codices, usually with the sigle VO, but it dates from the 18th century and there is general consent that it is copied from the manuscript ML of Florence, which survives. Here's a printing in Italian on Archive.org. Giovanni Mazzaferro has detailed 45 editions worldwide. In Japan, the first translation appeared in 1924. See also Jeremy Norman on the importance of this renowned work of Italian art theory.
