Vortrag
Parisinus graecus 400 is a treasure trove of little-known texts, including model letters, homilies and poems. Although undoubtedly composed in fourteenth-century Cyprus, it has been oddly overlooked in studies of Greek culture and literature under the Lusignans. This lecture will (i) discuss date, provenance, composition and contents of this manuscript, (ii) introduce a hitherto unknown collection of paraenetic poems, Στίχοι τοῦ ἁγίου Γρηγορίου τοῦ Θεολόγου ἐκ τῶν γνωμικῶν (probably dating to the thirteenth century), and (iii) focus on the social function of paraenesis.
