Un lezionario greco-arabo e i suoi disiecta membra fra Londra, San Pietroburgo e Cambridge

This contribution is devoted to a Greek-Arabic Lectionary originally belonging to St Catherine on Mount Sinai and nowadays dismembered among three different libraries. The retrieval of the main nucleus of the original codex in London, in the library of the School of Oriental and African Studies, was followed by the reconnection with its other fragments – linked to Constantin von Tischendorf – in Cambridge and St. Petersburg. The codicological and palaeographic study of the manuscript, as well as the analysis of its contents, allow the authors to suggest a date, the late-11th/early-12th century, and a region of production, the Sinai-Palestinian area, for the virtually reunited codex.
