Abstract
The Paris MS 2964, a luxury parchment manuscript copied by the well known Cretan émigré and scribe John Gregoropoulos (a proof reader of the Aldine press), bears a dedicatory note, written by Marcus Musurus, to an otherwise unknown Ju- lian Baldellus. Once established the place of this witness in the stemma codicum of the works of the emperor Julian (it is a copy of the famous MS. Leiden, Voss. gr. F° 77), we have tried to study the manuscript in its historical context and we have been able to place it in Venice, in the library of the Dominican convent of St. Zanipolo (Saints John and Paul), from which it was acquired (or more probably stolen) by the French ambassador Jean Hurault de Boistaillé, who later brought it to Paris, where it’s still preserved.Pubblicazioni consigliate
