Creating an Original of a Greek Lexicon in the Middle Ages: Notes on the Manuscript Vaticanus Barberinianus gr. 70 of the Etymologicum Gudianum

Stefano Valente

Abstract

The creation of a lexicon in the manuscript culture of the Greek Middle Ages was a complex and difficult enterprise. It required access to different manuscript sources and to writing materials in which the selected information could be copied and structured. To illustrate this practice, some features of the manuscript Vatican City, BAV, Vaticanus Barberinianus gr. 70 (eleventh century CE?) transmitting the original of the so-called Etymologicum Gudianum will be investigated.
