Written Culture and Intellectual Circles during the Palaeologan Age: Once more on Demetrios Triklinios and His Friends

This paper focuses on book production related to the intellectual milieux of Thessalonike during the early Palaeologan age. In particular, the essay examines the circle around Demetrios Triklinios, the well-known philologist and editor of classical texts, with a focus not only on Demetrios himself, but also on the figures of Nikolaos Triklines and Ioannes Katrarios, whose literary activity is also recon- structed. This is complemented by a list of manuscripts so far assigned to both De- metrios Triklinios and Ioannes Katrarios.
