This paper offers the first commented critical edition of a group of anonymous vernacular texts transmitted by the manuscript Ottoboniano Greco 344 of the Vatican Library. The codex, copied in 1177, is a venerable Greek euchologion (book of prayers) which was allegedly held at the Cathedral of Otranto (Southern Apulia) during the late Middle Ages. The margins of the manuscript contain some interesting Old Salentino annotations written in the Greek alphabet, probably between the 13th and the first half of the 14th century. The Ottoboniano codex therefore constitutes an important witness of the coexistence of the Byzantine- Greek and Latin-Romance cultures and liturgies in medieval Salento.

Abstract

This paper offers the first commented critical edition of a group of anonymous vernacular texts transmitted by the manuscript Ottoboniano Greco 344 of the Vatican Library. The codex, copied in 1177, is a venerable Greek euchologion (book of prayers) which was allegedly held at the Cathedral of Otranto (Southern Apulia) during the late Middle Ages. The margins of the manuscript contain some interesting Old Salentino annotations written in the Greek alphabet, probably between the 13th and the first half of the 14th century. The Ottoboniano codex therefore constitutes an important witness of the coexistence of the Byzantine- Greek and Latin-Romance cultures and liturgies in medieval Salento.
