A Byzantine Textbook of the Palaeologan Period. The Schedographic Collection of MS Laurentianus 56.17
Abstract
The article focuses on a schedographic collection preserved in codex Laurentianus 56.17, dated to the first decade of the XIV century. The collection was probably produced inside the intellectual circle surrounding John Pediasimos Pothos in Thessalonike. The unique nature of this manuscript, which is the result of the collaboration of a teacher and his student, led us to the decision to publish in full the school exercises it contains (both the schedeand their epimerismoi), and to explore their sources, as an example of the school praxis in the Palaeologan period.
