Constantinus Lascaris anthologicus: the epigrammatic collections in Homerum in the mss. Matritenses 4629 (Mt) and 4562 (M)

Abstract

Our paper aims to take a closer look at a collection of epigrams extracted from the Planudean, one of the several epigrammatic collections that, as far as we know, have not yet received the independent and particular attention we think it deserves. They are 26 epigrams on Homer and his two main poems copied in Matr. 4629 (ff. 177v-180r = Mt), twelve of them once again copied in Matr. 4562 (ff. 110r-111r = M), whose possible manuscript sources are to be investigated, as well as the possible connections to the editio princeps of the Planudea (1494).
