Nuovi apporti allo studio del manoscritto crisostomico Athous Stavronikita 6
Francesco Vanoni
This article, made possible by an examination of the digital colour reproduction of the entire manuscript, aims to highlight some significant contributions concerning the famous Chrysostom MS Athous Stavronikita 6 (ID No. 30067). Firstly, the catalogue status of the codex will be reviewed, and two hitherto unreported homilies will be included in the sequence. Secondly, the following section discusses the manuscript's contribution to the textual tradition of the Quindecim novae homiliae. A meticulous codicological and palaeographical study of the Stavronikita 6 – as far as the reproductions made it possible – is the main subject of the third part, concluding with a detailed examination of the manuscript's colophon and the modern-hand note on the inside cover, showing important news on the provenance of the codex in order to present their significant contribution to the Textgeschichte.
Ancient τέχναι γραμματικαί and Scholarly Treatises on Grammar
Elena Donadio
This contribution will be about ancient τέχναι γραμματικαί, with a particular focus on the fragmentary ones found in papyri. In particular, I would like to show evidence that at least some of these works were not low quality ones and their compilers don’t seem to have been ignorant of the scholarly discussions on grammar. For this purpose, I examined examples of points of contacts between some τέχναι on papyrus and theories and treatises of the most important Greek scholars.

The poem is transmitted in a small collection of Manuel Philes’ poetry, preserved in a single manuscript dated to the 15th century. The paper includes a portrait outline of the person, information about the manuscript, commentaries on the epitaph, metrical analysis, and an edition with translation.

Umberto Fiorino
The purpose of the present article is to publish an incomplete alphabetical sacro-profane florilegium, which has been handed down from the codex Hierosolymitanus Sabbaiticus graecus 419, dating back to the end of the 14th century, on pages 199v – 201r. The florilegium in question, which is very short, contains a total of twenty-nine excerpts, some of a secular nature and others of a christian one, while eight remain unidentified. A source apparatus, a parallel apparatus and a critical apparatus have been compiled for each excerpt.
