Western Medieval Manuscripts : Antistoicheiae by Maximus Planudes

Western Medieval Manuscripts

<p style='text-align: justify;'> This fragment consists of a single folio, probably extracted from the binding of a Latin manuscript codex. One side, now the verso, contains several Greek texts: two epigrams (the first attributed to Posidippus of Pella, the second Metrodorus' reply), the two <i>Antistoicheiae by Maximus Planudes</i>, followed by an extract from the sayings of the Seven Sages. The other side, now the recto, contains some psalms in Latin. The outer third has a slip of another leaf of the same manuscript, stuck on it upside down. </p><p style='text-align: justify;'>The fragment was acquired by Constantin von Tischendorf and bought from his heirs by Cambridge University Library in 1876.</p><p style='text-align: justify;'>Dr Matteo Di Franco</p>
