Un Lezionario greco-arabo e i suoi disiecta membra fra Londra, S. Pietroburgo e Cambridge

This contribution is devoted to a Greek-Arabic Lectionary that originally belonged to St. Catherine on Mount Sinai and is today dismembered among three different libraries. The recovery of the main nucleus of the original codex in London (in the library of the School of Oriental and African Studies) was followed by re-assembly with its other fragments – linked to Constantin von Tischendorf – in Cambridge and St. Petersburg. The codicological and palaeographic study of the manuscript and analysis of its contents together allow the authors to suggest that this (virtually reunited) codex was produced in the late-11th/early-12th century in the Sinai-Palestinian area.
