Il poema apologetico di Nicola Muzalone, arcivescovo dimissionario dell'isola di Cipro nel XII secolo, costituisce una testimonianza di primo piano dei fermenti socio-culturali e politici in una importante area periferica dell'impero bizantino, nella fase cruciale che vede l'incontro/scontro fra Occidente latino, Oriente bizantino e mondo islamico, all'epoca delle Crociate. Cipro fu sempre un crocevia di civiltà, una terra in cui convivevano Cristiani, Ebrei e Musulmani. Muzalone accetta la nomina su pressione diretta dell'imperatore Alessio I Comneno, e arriva nell'isola col proposito di restaurare l'autorità della Chiesa, ma deve scontrarsi con equilibri consolidati e con la sorda ostilità dei potentati locali, sia laici sia ecclesiastici. Ne esce sconfitto, ma descrive la sua esperienza in un poema apologetico in cui spiega le ragioni della sua scelta, impiegando una lingua classicheggiante che si ispira ai modelli della letteratura greca antica (dall'epica alla tragedia e alla tradizione gnomologica), delle Sacre Scritture e dei Padri della Chiesa.

New edition of Constantine of Rhodes' description of Sst. Apostles and of his satirical verses. A critical edition with detailed introduction and full indexes.00De Stefani and Strano offer a new edition of these texts, while correcting several corrupted passages. Particularly, the debts of Constantine with his avowed model in the description of the church of Holy Apostles, Paul the Silentiary, have been highlighted and the imitations of Constantine's poems by later Byzantine poets have been registered. In fact Constantine is the scribe (J) of Paul's poems in the famous Pal. Heid. gr. 23. De Stefani in his edition of Silentiary's text pointed out several imitations of Silentiary by Constantine. Further imitations of Silentiary's poem came out in course of the elaboration of this project and are recorded in the fontes. Constantine's poem is wordly quoted by Georgius Cedrenus. This new very important tool would help to better both the text we are editing and the quotations by Cedrenus listed in the fontes. Finally, the apparatus of the fontes will also mention the most patent imitations of the poem of Constantine by later Byzantine poets. The book will be a useful tool for all students of Byzantine literature.
