Document Details : Title: Learning Greek Grammar from the Psalms in the Middle Ages Subtitle: The Case of Psalm Epimerisms Author(s): PAPANIKOLAOU, Dimitrios Journal: Journal of Septuagint and Cognate Studies Volume: 53 Date: 2020 Pages: 115-132 DOI: 10.2143/JSCS.53.0.3289028 Abstract : The present study is concerned with a grammatical work of the Greek middle ages which is inspired by the Septuagint Psalms, namely the Psalm Epimerisms. Long recognised to be a work of grammarian Georgius Choeroboscus (first half of the ninth century AD), the work bears a certain structure (questions and answers) and grammatical genre (epimerisms), which implies school use. The study discusses issues like the ancient and late antique sources of the work and its Nachleben within the realm of Byzantine grammatical and school life. The paper also focuses on the problems created to any further research on the work by the lack of a modern critical edition. |
