Abstract

The paper deals with the linguistic and stylistic reception of George of Pisidia’s poetic work by Leo Choirosphak-tes in his didactic poem Thousand-Line Theology (Chiliostichos Theologia), offering a short overview of cases that reveal the close connection between these two authors. Choirosphaktes composed his poem “by means of” Pisides, a master carefully read and studied, whose poems he reworked with a cento technique for his selected readers, in the choice and disposition of the words into the verses, in the search for technical effects, eminently acoustical and structural, but mostly without constructing a literary allusive game with Pisides’ texts.
