Leo Allatius, and later Giovanni Mercati, had already appreciated the importance of the manuscript Città del Vaticano, BAV Barb. gr. 291 as a unique testimony of works, linked to the anti-Latin and anti-Palamite controversy, otherwise lost. This article is the first detailed and comprehensive study devoted to the Barberinianus. The first part, dedicated to codicological and palaeographic analysis and to the history of the manuscript, is followed by a second part that introduces the collection of texts against the Latins and a third part that examines the collection of works related to the Palamite controversy. Two anonymous anti-Palamite works are published in the appendix. The results of the codicological and palaeographic analysis and the study of the two collections allow us to date the composition of the collection to the third quarter of the 14th century.

This article is devoted to the Vatican manuscript Città del Vaticano, BAV, Barb. gr. 291, a codex of exceptional historical and theological importance. Written collaboratively by Alessandra Bucossi, Chiara Gazzini, and Antonio Rigo, it offers the first comprehensive study dedicated to this manuscript, which until now had never received a full scholarly description. Through detailed codicological and palaeographical analysis, the authors establish its dating and trace its transmission from Constantinople to Leone Allacci. They further examine its unique collection of anti-Latin and anti-Palamite texts—many preserved only in this witness—thereby illuminating a crucial yet understudied chapter in the intellectual and religious history of fourteenth-century Byzantium. By providing a systematic description and contextual interpretation, the article fills a significant gap in Byzantine manuscript studies and redefines the role of Barb. gr. 291 in the history of theological controversy and cross-cultural transmission.

Questo articolo è dedicato al manoscritto vaticano Città del Vaticano, BAV, Barb. gr. 291, un codice di eccezionale importanza storica e teologica. Frutto della collaborazione di Alessandra Bucossi, Chiara Gazzini e Antonio Rigo, lo studio rappresenta la prima analisi completa e approfondita di questo manoscritto, finora privo di una descrizione scientifica esaustiva. Attraverso un’attenta indagine codicologica e paleografica, gli autori ne stabiliscono la datazione e ne ricostruiscono la trasmissione da Costantinopoli a Leone Allacci. Il contributo esamina inoltre la raccolta unica di testi antilatini e antipalamiti — molti dei quali tramandati esclusivamente in questo testimone — gettando nuova luce su un capitolo cruciale, ma ancora poco studiato, della storia intellettuale e religiosa del XIV secolo bizantino. Fornendo una descrizione sistematica e un’interpretazione contestuale, l’articolo colma una lacuna significativa negli studi sui manoscritti bizantini e ridefinisce il ruolo del Barb. gr. 291 nella storia delle controversie teologiche e della trasmissione culturale tra Oriente e Occidente.

Abstract

This article is devoted to the Vatican manuscript Città del Vaticano, BAV, Barb. gr. 291, a codex of exceptional historical and theological importance. Written collaboratively by Alessandra Bucossi, Chiara Gazzini, and Antonio Rigo, it offers the first comprehensive study dedicated to this manuscript, which until now had never received a full scholarly description. Through detailed codicological and palaeographical analysis, the authors establish its dating and trace its transmission from Constantinople to Leone Allacci. They further examine its unique collection of anti-Latin and anti-Palamite texts—many preserved only in this witness—thereby illuminating a crucial yet understudied chapter in the intellectual and religious history of fourteenth-century Byzantium. By providing a systematic description and contextual interpretation, the article fills a significant gap in Byzantine manuscript studies and redefines the role of Barb. gr. 291 in the history of theological controversy and cross-cultural transmission.
