Katalog der griechischen Handschriften der Bayerischen Staatsbibliothek München
Band 9: Codices graeci Monacenses 575-650 (Handschriften des Supplements).
Described by Friederike Berger
(Catalogus codicum manu scriptorum Bibliothecae Monacensis Tomus II, pars IX codices graecos 575*650 continens, id est supplementum)
Wiesbaden. Harrassowitz: 2014.
377 pp.
The catalogue contains descriptions of 76 manuscripts with the shelfmarks Cod.graec. 575-650 in the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek Munich, the so-called supplement to the five-volume catalogue by Ignaz Hardt (1806-1812), which only reaches up to Cod.graec. 574. Eight shelfmarks relate to one or more fragments of Classical and byzantine texts of various provenances, 22 to manuscripts which were copied by Greek scribes in the byzantine East or in Italy, and 22 to codices by Western scholars of the 15th to 20th century. Eleven liturgical codices with music in late byzantine or in reformed notation which was used from 1814 form a representative collection of byzantine church music which also comprises a gospel lectionary from the 11th century. Three manuscripts transmit lives of saints, apophthegmata and other vernacular texts.
The manuscripts come from very different provenances. Nine codices came to the then Court Library in Munich as a result of the secularisation of monasteries and the mediatisation of Imperial cities between 1810 and 1812; four manuscripts come were part of the library of the French orientalist Étienne Marc Quatremère, which was purchased in 1858, and a further four manuscripts were acquired between 1975 and 1978 from the Phillipps collection.
A speciality of the collection are ten manuscripts with modern Greek texts, most of which come from the private library of King Otto of Greece, the second son of King Louis I of Bavaria, who reigned Greece from 1832 to 1862. They include a copy of the Greek Constitution made for the king, but also a manual for the fire brigade of Athens.
Kind regards,
