RT Article T1 Du recueil à l’invention du texte: le cas des Parastaseis Syntomoi Chronikai JF Byzantinische Zeitschrift VO 107 IS 2 SP 755 OP 784 A1 Odorico, Paolo 1952- LA French PB De Gruyter YR 2014 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1760387290 AB The author considers the manuscript tradition of the Parastaseis syntomoi chronikai, with the goal to understand the nature of the text. Against the recent view which sees in this collection the product of «philosophers» of 8 th century, he thinks 1) that the collection is not unitary, 2) that it is composed of two or more sections, and 3) that the text preserved by the codex Parisinus gr. 1336 is nearer to the dossier used by both the Anonymus Treu and the Patria Konstantinoupoleos. The author proceeds with some philological remarks and expresses the hypothesis that the manuscript was collection of works with historical contents and/or a depository of historical notes serving for the composition of a chronicle.
