NEWS - The British Library’s Greek Manuscripts Digitisation Project: Another 30 Manuscripts Go Online!
In the penultimate Greek Manuscripts Digitisation Project update, the British Library’s was very glad to announce that another thirty manuscripts have been digitised. There are great riches to be found in this month’s update, particularly for those with interests in theological treatises.
Pride of place this month must go to a very fine 11th-century copy of the Orationes of Gregory of Nazianzus, which also incorporates some of the scholia on Gregory attributed to Nonnus. Byzantine learning is well represented by a 15th-century copy of Manuel Moschopoulos’ grammatical treatise, the Erotemata, written by the prolific scribe George Baiophoros in Constantinople, which is preserved in a contemporary binding.
More of the many classical manuscripts collected by Charles Burney are also included in this month’s group of uploads, with Burney 75 being a particularly important collection of classical and Byzantine epistolography.
Additionally, another group of Biblical manuscripts are to be found in listed here.
