Ripensando al Marciano greco 470, tra Trivizia e Callisto

The Marcianus gr. 470, a manuscript which contains the seven tragedies of Sophocles, six dramas of Euripides and the Byzantine triad of Aeschylus, was written by Georgius Trivizias for Cardinal Bessarion in Rome in the last period of their cooperation. Recent research (especially Franchi and Orlandi, both 2019) has demonstrated that it displays contamination with ms. Athos, Iber. 161, and that its production must be dated to the years 1468-71. The particular relationship of this manuscript with the Marcianus gr. 468 with regard to the text of Sophocles also rules out the erroneous hypothesis that the two manuscripts are twins as far as the section containing Aeschylus is concerned.
