Abstract
|
The ’Florilegium Coislinianum’ is a Byzantine alphabetical anthology compiled sometime between the end of the ninth and the beginning of the tenth century, most probably in Southern Italy. A research team based at the KU Leuven has already published several sections of the anthology. The present volume offers the first critical edition of three significant sections, namely, Books ?-Z. The Greek text is based on the collation of more than 25 witnesses and is accompanied by a set of apparatuses: manuscripts, sources, parallels in other anthologies, titles, apparatus criticus, apparatuses of comparison with sources and other anthologies, and marginalia. The critical edition is supplemented with a philological introduction which explores the manuscript tradition, offers a complete textual study of the witnesses that contain excerpts from Books ?-Z, and studies the links between the ’Florilegium Coislinianum’ and other relevant Byzantine florilegia such as ’Sacra’, ’Corpus Parisinum’, and ’Loci communes’ of a Ps.-Maximus the Confessor.
