Curatorial narrative

The Vatican Library has more than half a millennium of life. Its holdings were rearranged and reclassified a couple of times and these changes have left their mark on the collection. When the ancient collection of the Vatican Library was organized in the late 16th century, Vat. gr. 984 was classified together with philosophical and rhetorical and historical texts that were considered as of secondary; they were thus stored in a box. Many manuscripts were considered as old objects already in the 16th century and were not in good shape. Some of their folios could easily depart from the original books as it happened with a section of Vat. gr. 984. Subsequent reorganization assembled these manuscript fragments into one and assigned a new shelfmark to it. Vat. gr. 1882 includes several such items and one of them is a fragment consisting of twelve folios (ff. 89-92, 97-104) that derive from Vat. gr. 984. When Mons. Paul Canart, a scriptor graecus of the Vatican Library, described the composite volume, he identified its origin. The same recycled texts are featured in both manuscripts. It took four centuries for these fragments to be linked with their original manuscript and now they can be studied together digitally.
