The aim of this paper is the first systematic description of the Akolouthiai ms. Ambrosianus L36 sup., provided with Middle-Byzantine melodic notation. After a summary of its contents and some palaeographical/codicological remarks, it focuses on the date of the manuscript (1346 d.C.) and on its scribe (Konstantinos Moschianos). It also highlights the musical/textual ‘novelties’ which can be found in the manuscript with a new critical edition of 25 troparia (inc. Ἀκατάφλεκτε βάτε / ἀλατόμητον ὄρος), ascribed to patriarch Germanos (II), of which Ambrosianus L 36 sup. is one of the sources, hitherto never used in the constitutio textus. The textual and musicological analysis of the strophes can shed new light on the text/music relationship in this ‘late’ hymnography.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is the first systematic description of the Akolouthiai ms. Ambrosianus L36 sup., provided with Middle-Byzantine melodic notation. After a summary of its contents and some palaeographical/codicological remarks, it focuses on the date of the manuscript (1346 d.C.) and on its scribe (Konstantinos Moschianos). It also highlights the musical/textual ‘novelties’ which can be found in the manuscript with a new critical edition of 25 troparia (inc. Ἀκατάφλεκτε βάτε / ἀλατόμητον ὄρος), ascribed to patriarch Germanos (II), of which Ambrosianus L 36 sup. is one of the sources, hitherto never used in the constitutio textus. The textual and musicological analysis of the strophes can shed new light on the text/music relationship in this ‘late’ hymnography.
