The ‘’Dagome iudex’’: the manuscript tradition of a Greek-Latin document.
For a textual criticism approach.
Keywords:
Dagome iudex,, manuscript tradition,, textual criticism,, medieval literature,, Ottonian Byzantinism, Greek languageAbstract
The ‘’Dagome iudex’’ document remains until today a legendary story within medieval literature while simultaneously reflecting the cultural phenomenon of Ottonian Byzantinism. The progress of the current research into resolving the questions surrounding the ‘’Dagome iudex’’ has proved challenging: thus prompting us to consider a different classification of scientific priorities and adopt a textual criticism approach. In this paper we would like to report on the relative findings of a systematic elaboration of the ‘’Dagome iudex’’ according to the Lachman method (recensio with stemma, examinatio, emendatio).
