Abstract :
This article offers the editio princeps of the Letter Θ of the Florilegium Coislinianum, an alphabetically arranged anthology that was compiled around the turn of the tenth century. The text has been transmitted in fifteen manuscripts (some of which are only partial witnesses); three recensions can be distinguished. The stoicheion consists of seven chapters of which each contains one or more excerpts: this amounts to a total of fourteen fragments, taken from the Old and the New Testament and from patristic texts from c. 200 to the sixth/seventh century, and dealing with topics of exegetical and dogmatic nature. For some of the excerpts, parallels with other florilegia (such as the Sacra Parallela and the Loci communes) can be observed.
