Long description:
This book throws new light on an important selection of forty manuscripts from the Bodleian?s collections of medieval and renaissance Greek manuscripts. The introduction contains up-to-date evidence about the provenance of the collection and detailed descriptions of these codices. The book also includes integrated black and white illustrations of over forty selected folios.
The Meerman Library was composed almost exclusively of manuscripts which had belonged to the Jesuits of Clermont in Paris . It was bought for the Bodleian from the collection of the Dutch bibliophile Gerard Meerman in 1824. Professor Palau traces them further back to several previous owners, including Guillaume Pellicier, French ambassador to Venice in the first half of the sixteenth century.
This catalogue is an invaluable source of information on the transmission of Greek texts and an essential resource for scholars and students of Greek Literature and Palaeography.
