Note scoliastiche e citazioni euripidee inedite nei codici Vat. Pal. gr. 287 e Vat. gr. 896 e l’utilizzo del codice P di Euripide nelle cerchie di Demetrio Triclinio e Angelo Poliziano

New survey on the history of the ms. Vat. Pal. gr. 287 (P) of Euripides: its transcription in Demetrius Triclinius’ milieu by six scribal hands (including that of John Catrarius), its relationship with the ms. Laur. Plut. 32.2 (L), its use between the 14th and the 15th cent. The sharing of the same errors in both P and some unpublished Euripidean quotations held in the 14th-century De metris poeticis (ms. Vat. gr. 896) proves that P was used immediately after Triclinius' death in a milieu of scholars interested in metrical studies. The last part of the research moves on to the Florentine milieu of the young Angelo Poliziano. While in his first transcription of Eur. Andr. 103-116 (ms. Vat. gr. 1373, f. 17r) Poliziano reproduced the text of P, in a second later transcription of the same text (ms. Laur. Plut. 81.6, f. 169v) he shows himself to have derived his text from L. Since other Euripidean quotations in Poliziano’s critical notes (BNP Rès. gr. Yc. 236) show to have been also related with the text of L, the hypothesis is presented here that the transcription of ms. Vat. gr. 1373 goes back to P through the mediation of another transcription that may have been given to Poliziano by John Argyropoulos.
