Fragmenta Manuscripta 197: Sermons on the deadly sins

900 - 915

Script: Greek minuscule bouletee. Script is no later than the first quarter of the 10th century, and it might be copied at the very end of the 9th century.

Notes: Marginalia by a later hand, perhaps s. XV, containing a list of Greek Christian names in alphabetical order (probably not connected to the main text). It uses an archaic form of the letter "kappa" (see, for example, "kai" at the end of the first line). Similar to Bibl. Apost. Vaticana, Reg. gr. 29; see E. Follieri, "La minuscola libraria dei secoli IX e X," in La paleographie grecque et byzantine (Paris 1977) 139-153 at 147 & pl. 8b; M. L. Agati, La minuscola "bouleteé"(1992) 93-94 & pl. 51.
