This article examines and provides a partial critical edition of an unedited collection of excerpts from Pollux’s Onomasticon which can be found in two manuscripts: the Marc. gr. Z. 490 and the Vat. gr. 904. These excerpts, probably compiled by a scholar of the early Palaeologan Renaissance, are not mere extracts from Pollux, but re-elaborate his text, adding definitions, synonyms, short sentences, quotations from later writers (mostly from late antiquity or the Byzantine Age), grammatical notes, brief explanations, and even a progymnasma. The article aims to analyse the making and determine the purpose of this collection, and tries to study the relationship of these excerpts to other erudite works and lexica of the Palaeologan Age.

Abstract
This article examines and provides a partial critical edition of an unedited collection of excerpts from Pollux’s Onomasticon which can be found in two manuscripts: the Marc. gr. Z. 490 and the Vat. gr. 904. These excerpts, probably compiled by a scholar of the early Palaeologan Renaissance, are not mere extracts from Pollux, but re-elaborate his text, adding definitions, synonyms, short sentences, quotations from later writers (mostly from late antiquity or the Byzantine Age), grammatical notes, brief explanations, and even a progymnasma. The article aims to analyse the making and determine the purpose of this collection, and tries to study the relationship of these excerpts to other erudite works and lexica of the Palaeologan Age.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
