If you happen to have, as I have, an interest in canon law history, the availability of the Ottobonianus manuscript of the Pseudo-Isidorian forgeries and the Tractatus Vaticanus will thrill you; if you are more interested in the reception of Galen's medical writings and the Corpus Hippocraticum, read Piggin's recent entries here: https://macrotypography.blogspot.de/2017/02/hippocrates-refound.html https://macrotypography.blogspot.de/2017/01/science-in-year-1000.html
