Parallel Title:
Verses on the Twelve Months : Unknown witnesses of the romance Livistros and Rhodamne and of the poem Pictures of the Twelve Months
Author:
Abstract:
This study presents two unknown small texts in verse on the twelve months. In terms of genre they belong to the tradition of the Byzantine ekphrasis. The first text, found in the 17th c. ms Lavra Κ 22 (1309), derives from the popular romance Livistros and Rhodamne. It contains the texts held by the months in an ekphrasis in Livistros which describes the characteristics of the months which hold them. The second text is a fragment for the month of March and is found in the 16-17 c. ms Ottobanianus gr. 339. Its significance is chiefly that it provides a further witness to the poem Pictures of the Twelve Months.
