Abstract

The aim of this article is to offer the first critical edition of 11 poems (49 dodecasyllables) found in the margins of 10 manuscripts of Herodotus’ Histories. The edition is preceded by the description of the manuscripts and their relationships. The article thus contributes to the study of Herodotus’ textual tradition, especially with regard to manuscripts recentiores. The edition and translation of the poems, on the other hand, makes available texts that witness the reception of Herodotus in Byzantium, as well as the Byzantine reading practices connected with writing poetry in the margins of manuscripts.
