The aim of this paper is to offer a comprehensive overview of individual scripts and graphic tipology used for the graeca in Latin humanistic manuscripts. To this purpose, the paper presents the first results of a census conducted on more than a hundred manuscripts belonging to the libraries of Florence or available in digital collections, focusing on significant case-studies. Here I dwell on manuscripts with graeca inserted by various Italian and Byzantine scribes, either professional or not: Ambrogio Traversari, Giorgio Antonio Vespucci, Johannes Skoutariotes, Bessarions’ ‘scriba a’, Manuel Chrysoloras’ pupil known as Anonymus λ, Francesco da Castiglione, Angelo Poliziano, Theodorus Gaza, an anonymous friend of Bartolomeo Fonzio, Demetrius Damilas, Athanasius Chalkeopoulos and many others. Combining palaeography and philology, codicology and prosopography, it is possible to show that leaving aside Latin books the history of Greek script and culture in 15th century cannot be written.

This paper dwells on a manuscript preserved in Florence,
Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, Pluteo 4.9, containing a
large collection of Basilius Magnus’ Homiliae and Epistulae.
According to Bernard de Montfaucon, the codex has mostly
been considered by scholars from the early xiith century.
For the first time, it is here attributed to an anonymous
scribe known as copyist of Dionysius, who also worked for
Arethas of Caesarea. Thus, the manuscript must be backdated
between the late IXh and early Xth century. The paper
provides also a detailed description of Laurenziano Pluteo
4.9 and a reconstruction of the idiosyncratic ruling system
adopted by his scribe, assimilable to the system 9 Leroy.

This paper focuses on the history of the oldest witness of Stobaeus’ Florile- gium, MS Wien, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, Phil. gr. 67, during XVth and XVIth centuries. Palaeographic analysis of humanistic marginalia in the codex allows to point out three important steps in the after-life of the Vind. Phil. gr. 67. Lauro Quirini, a Venetian humanist, and Michael Apostolios, a famous Byzantine scholar and scribe, used it in Creete ca. 1450. Aristoboulos Apostolios, Michael’s son, also used Vind. Phil. gr. 67 and, probably, took it to Italy. In Padua, in Venice or, less probably, in Rome, Marcus Musurus, another Cretan scholar, annotated Vind. Phil. gr. 67 at the beginning of XVIth century. It is possible to ascribe to Musurus also the transcription of the excerpta from Florilegium today in Paris, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, gr. 2130, but it’s difficult to say with certainty if he used Vind. Phil. gr. 67 as model for them. The history of humanistic transmission of Stobaeus’ Florilegium has, in large part, yet to be written and this paper fills only a little gap in it.

Tra il 1461 e il 1462 fu allestito a Roma un sontuoso testimone greco-latino dei poemi omerici, destinato al cardinale francese Jean Jouffroy. Il codice, che si conserva a Stoccarda, ha attratto finora soprattutto le attenzioni degli storici dell'arte, in virtù di una miniatura a piena pagina con scene della materia troiana. In questo volume l'Omero di Stoccarda è analizzato per la prima volta sotto il profilo storico e paleografico e sono riconosciute le mani dei suoi quattro copisti greci, esuli fuggiti in Italia di fronte all'avanzare delle armate turche. La loro presenza è individuata in molti manoscritti di varie collezioni europee e di due di loro è svelata l'identità: seguendo il filo della scrittura il lettore è dunque condotto in un viaggio tra Oriente e Occidente, all'ombra del cardinale Bessarione, negli anni immediatamente seguiti alla caduta di Costantinopoli e Mistrà. Il lavoro è arricchito da indici e da un ampio apparato di tavole.
