This paper is devoted to a small but significant handful of fragments of Greek manuscripts from the Qubbat al-khazna in Damascus that contain Christian hymns, and in particular to their palaeographical features and textual content. In fact, these fragmentary manuscripts, which are known only thanks to early twentieth-century photographic reproductions now kept in Berlin, seem to be particularly valuable from the point of view of both the history of Greek writing and the history of Byzantine liturgical books.
Contributo dedicato a un piccolo ma significativo gruppo di fragmenti di manoscritti greci, che, provenienti dalla Qubbat al-khazna di Damasco, contengono inni cristiani, e che vengono qui studiati sia per le loro caratteristiche paleografiche che per il loro contenuto testuale. In effetti, questi frammenti, ora noti soltanto attraverso le fotografie dell'inizio del XX secolo che se ne conservano a Berlino, appaiono di straordinario interesse dal punto di vista sia della storia della scrittura greca sia della storia dei libri liturgici bizantini.

Abstract
This paper is devoted to a small but significant handful of fragments of Greek manuscripts from the Qubbat al-khazna in Damascus that contain Christian hymns, and in particular to their palaeographical features and textual content. In fact, these fragmentary manuscripts, which are known only thanks to early twentieth-century photographic reproductions now kept in Berlin, seem to be particularly valuable from the point of view of both the history of Greek writing and the history of Byzantine liturgical books.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
