Document Details : Title: La question du titre dans la littérature byzantine Subtitle: Quelques pistes de réflexion autour du terme ὑπόμνημα Author(s): GRIBOMONT, Aurélie Journal: Byzantion Volume: 82 Date: 2012 Pages: 89-112 DOI: 10.2143/BYZ.82.0.2174086 Abstract : This article explores several issues pertaining to the role of titles in Byzantine literature. Firstly, some methodological questions are raised regarding their authority and authorship as well as the delineation of the research subject. Secondly, a specific case is discussed of how a 9th/10th-century anthology uses titles (or not) to identify the writings it quotes from. In a more extensive third and final section, the semantic evolution is retraced of the term ὑπόμνημα, which has been used with quite diverging meanings throughout Greek literature. |
