I Menei vergati da Giorgio Basilikos per la chiesa maggiore di Bova, I: Barb. gr. 535 (an. 1556: Trimeneo di settembre-novembre)

The manuscript Barb. gr. 535 is a Trimenaeum for the months of September, October, and November, completed on July 24, 1556, by the scribe Georgios Basilikos and commissioned by the clergy of the cathedral of Bova (Calabria), the last Italo-Greek bastion. A note written in the Barb. gr. 535 documents the passage of the episcopal church of Bova on November 23, 1572, from the Byzantine rite to the Latin one. The present article provides an analytical description of the manuscript, including the texts within and its codicological and palaeographical aspects. The appendix at the end attempts to understand when the two Trimenaea Barb. gr. 535 and 543 (immediate continuation of the former) were attested in the Barberini’s book collection and how they were entered, based on an investigation of some manuscript catalogues of the Barberini family’s library.
