Vatican Palimpsests Digital Recovery of Erased Identities [by A. Németh]

Pal.lat.24 <inf.6>

Pal. lat. 24 includes several Biblical books of the Old Testament (Tobias, Judith, Job, Esther). It was initially copied in Uncial script, written in 22 long lines per page in the seventh or eighth century. The writing surface of this original manuscript seems to have been entirely made up of nine recycled Latin manuscripts and a Greek one, ranging from the fourth to the sixth century. Soon after its production (eighth century), probably already at Lorsch, this manuscript was restored and its missing texts were copied on brand-new parchment folios (ff. 1-8, 17-37, 54-71) by another Uncial hand. The long lines vary from 17-21 per page, and each page currently measures 110 × 85 mm. It found its way to the Palatine Library at Heidelberg whence it arrived to the Vatican Library in 1623.

Fragmenta oratorica

Three bifolios of Pal. lat. 24 (ff. 52 + 47, 48 + 51, 50 + 49) preserve fragments from a text that still remains unidentified. The surviving portion of the larger pages (190 × 143) which were folded in half include one column and 28 long lines of writing per page in a cursive Latin script from the sixth century.
