Mitteilungen aus Athos-Handschriften

Abstract

The present article focuses on three hitherto unknown and several less known manuscripts of classical authors preserved in the libraries of Mount Athos. Two fragments from the monastery of Vatopedi (2 leaves each) date from the 10th century and are by far the oldest extant witnesses of the respective authors (Sextus Empiricus, Cleomedes). The cod. Lavra K 57 is a new manuscript of the Ilias (13th century), so far overlooked by the editors.
