Medieval and Early Modern Greek Manuscripts

This fragment is a single folio deriving from a codex datable to the 16th century. It contains some philosophical and rhetorical fragments, and the beginning of the Latin philosopher Boethius' work De topiciis differentiis, translated into Greek by the thirteenth-century Byzantine scholar Manuel Holobolos. It was acquired by Constantin von Tischendorf and bought from his heirs by Cambridge University Library in 1876. Dr Erika Elia
