Byzantium plays a vital role for the transmission of ancient, late antique and Medieval Greek texts. Thousands of manuscripts preserved in libraries and collections are full of texts of ancient tragedians, late antique church fathers and particularly of Biblical texts, which represent the lion’s share of transmitted manuscripts. A considerable number of manuscripts, depending on the setting in which they were copied, are equipped with illuminations or various kinds of ornamentation which increase their value. These often very elaborately and colorfully designed depictions are usually accompanied by texts, which, due to not belonging to the main text of the manuscript, are called paratexts. A considerable number of these paratexts are in verse form. Such texts, called book epigrams, fulfill various functions: they explain the depicted scenes, highlight the relationship between the manuscript’s main text and the illumination, or act themselves as images, as for example when the text of the epigram is written in the shape of a cross or inscribed into an ornamental frame. Many of these texts, considered purely on visual grounds, already resemble inscriptions which are preserved on other kinds of surfaces and objects. The current volume is structured like the preceding three volumes of the series Byzantine epigrams on objects, which have so far presented inscriptional verses on frescoes and mosaics; icons and portable objects; and on stones. The publication’s focus is on critical editions of the texts, (German) translations of the Greek texts, and commentaries. Besides general chapters on the cultural-historical phenomenon of quasi-inscriptional verses in manuscripts, paleography, language etc., almost all the epigrams treated are also depicted in the volume’s collection of plates in order to facilitate study of the original context of the verses.

Ein wertvolles historisches Zeugnis und literarisches Werk von Rang stellt diese Schrift des Eustathios von Thessalonike (ca. 1115–1195) dar, in der der Erzbischof und berühmte Gelehrte drastisch und detailreich mit seinen Mönchen ins Gericht geht; in seinen Augen bleiben sie weit hinter dem Ideal zurück, das sie bei ihrer Mönchsweihe gelobten, besonders durch Geschäftemacherei und Bildungsfeindlichkeit. Mit Prolegomena, Edition und Indices erschließt der Band der byzantinistischen Fachwelt das 1832 auf unzureichender handschriftlicher Grundlage edierte Werk neu, auch den Quellenwert für die Liturgiegeschichte. Doch sollte ein Werk von diesem Rang und Reiz nicht den Spezialisten vorbehalten sein; der Band stellt deshalb dem griechischen Text eine deutsche Übersetzung gegenüber. Als Ergänzung zu dieser Edition erscheint in der Reihe "Supplementa Byzantina" eine kommentierende Monographie. Beide Bände sind auch zu einem gemeinsamen Setpreis erhältlich. In a detailed account, the archbishop and renowned scholar Eustathius of Thessalonica (probably 1115–1195) takes his monks severely to task, for in his eyes they fall far short of the ideals they professed in their monastic vows, particularly by engaging in business and being hostile to education and learning. With its Prolegomena, editorial work, and indexes, this new edition is a valuable source for Byzantinists. The volume also provides a German translation of the Greek text. In addition to this text, a commentary is published within the series "Supplementa Byzantina." Both volumes are available as a set .
