Theological treatises, scholia to dramas and the Iliad, and treatises on metric (Cambridge, University Library, MS Dd.11.70)

MS Dd.11.70 is a collection of Theological treatises, scholia to dramas and the Iliad, and treatises on metric, consisting of 5 parts, copied by known scribes. The first three Parts are on paper, the last two are on parchment and have two independent foliation sequences.

Part II is the most extensive and contains only scholia to Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes. It could be the result of the union of three initially independent sections, as suggested by the quire signatures. The three sections were all copied by Michael Souliardos (15th-16th century) and were brought together at an early stage:

The scholia to Sophocles were printed by Adrien (de) Turnèbe (also known as Tournebus or Turnebus) in his edition (1553) combining the text from Part II of Dd.11.70 with the one from Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, grec 2711 (14th century), as Turyn has demonstrated (Turyn 1952, p. 82).

    • Format: Codex
    • Condition: The corners of the book block are worn and rounded (especially from f. 216 onwards). Humidity and water stains are repeatedly found throughout the volume. There are occasional worm holes.
    • Script:

      Michael Souliardos: the manuscript part was copied by the Michael Souliardos of Nauplion (RGK I 286) active between the end of the 15th and the beginning of the 16th century in a scholarly-calligraphical minuscule script in black ink, darker from f. 113v onwards.

      Slanting slightly to the right, Souliardos' hand is compressed with pronunced ascenders and rather reduced descenders. Variation in letter size not marked, ligatures and abbreviations are common and very clear.

      Breathings are curved; accents sometimes join to letters or breathings. The trema is occasionally present over iota.

    • Layout: ff. 26r-112v: single column, 33 lines per page. Written height: 155 mm, width: 100 mm. ff. 113v-228v: single column, 22 lines per page. Written height: 150 mm, width: 85-90 mm.
    • Decoration: Headpiece on ff. 113v, 130r
      Thick red-ink major initials: e.g. on ff. 49r, 64v, 81r, 113v.
      Minor initials written in a thin red-ink uncial within the body of the text to mark the quotations from the dramas.
      Ornamental line fillers at title headers: ff. 34r, 38v, 64v.
    • Additions:

      A later western hand added some titles on the upper margins of ff. 26r, 49r, 105r, 113v.

    • Provenance:

      Jackson 1998, p. 95, finds Parts II and V in two entries in a list of texts that Janus Lascaris (c. 1445-1535) brought to Florence in 1492. This list is now preserved in Hannover, Niedersächsische Landesbibliothek, MS XLII 1845, ff. 107r-111r. The scholia to Sophocles are listed on f. 107v line 3 as "Antiquae Glosulae in quasdam tragaedias Sophoclis". Lascaris had been sent by Lorenzo de' Medici to the East to acquire Greek manuscripts for the Laurentian Library, and also printed the metrical scholia to Sophocles in 1518 (see Proietti 2018, pp. 226-227).

      Jackson 2006, p. 32, further speculates that Part I was also brought to Florence in the same year.

    • Origin: The manuscript was copied in all likelihood in Venice or in the Venetian area by Michael Souliardos, between the late 15th and early 16th century.
