Per uno studio della tradizione a stampa di Libanio: il Par. gr. 2998 tra Jean Veillart, Fédéric Morel e Pierre de Nancel

The article reconstructs the history of codex Paris, BNF, gr. 2998, which was copied by George of Cyprus and four coworkers in Constantinople before 1283: it belonged to Andronicus Callistus, Baldassar Migliavacca, John Abramius, Jean Veillart, Fédéric Morel, Pierre de Nancel and Étienne Baluze (an essential biography of Jean Veillart and Pierre de Nancel is also offered, since they are almost unknown in the literature on book history). In particular, Fédéric Morel used the manuscript for his two-volume edition of Libanius, which allows us to reconstruct his typographical practice: the books chosen for the constitutio textus were provided with numbers that could help build the final printed page. Eventually, thanks to some codices used by Morel for his editions, his hand has been identified in three manuscripts, namely Paris BNF, 2535, 2998 and 3014 (it is likely that the last also belonged to him).
