The secondary literature on ms. Laur. Plut. 9.28 is vast, as testified by the online bibliography. Nevertheless, the only complete description of the codex is the eighteenth-century one by Angelo Maria Bandini; Wanda Wolska Conus’ description, in her critical edition, is not been founded on a direct examination of the manuscript. Scholarly attention has always concentrated almost exclusively on the decoration of the manuscript, which has never been studied from a palaeographical and codicological point of view. This paper aims to reconsider Cosmas’ codex Laurentianus from this perspective. It contains a reconstruction of the codicological structure of the manuscript and an elucidation of the incorrect page binding and of its consequences from the sixteenth century to 1963; an analysis of the handwriting, which may be dated to the end of the eleventh or the beginning of the twelfth century; an edition of the text and an interpretation of the scholia by later hands which occur in the manuscript.

Abstract: | The secondary literature on ms. Laur. Plut. 9.28 is vast, as testified by the online bibliography. Nevertheless, the only complete description of the codex is the eighteenth-century one by Angelo Maria Bandini; Wanda Wolska Conus’ description, in her critical edition, is not been founded on a direct examination of the manuscript. Scholarly attention has always concentrated almost exclusively on the decoration of the manuscript, which has never been studied from a palaeographical and codicological point of view. This paper aims to reconsider Cosmas’ codex Laurentianus from this perspective. It contains a reconstruction of the codicological structure of the manuscript and an elucidation of the incorrect page binding and of its consequences from the sixteenth century to 1963; an analysis of the handwriting, which may be dated to the end of the eleventh or the beginning of the twelfth century; an edition of the text and an interpretation of the scholia by later hands which occur in the manuscript. |
