| heal.abstract | THE LIBRARY OF THE MONASTERY OF DIONYSIOU ON MOUNT ATHOS The Monastery of Dionysiou on Mount Athos was founded by the Emperor Alexios III Megalokomnenos of Trebizond in 1374 and its library is considered among the most important of the Holy Mountain, both in size as well as in content. It contains 1080 Greek and 6 Slavonic manuscripts, including 27 scrolls, of which 125 are parchment volumes -containing among the valuable ones a partly palimpsest (cod. no. 91) and two copied in the uncial script (cod. no. 21 and the missing today cod. no. 1)-, a few were copied on Oriental or bombycine paper and the rest on Western paper. Catalogues of the collection were prepared by Spyridon Lambros in 1895, while later acquisitions were described by Eulogios Kourilas, Euthymios Dionysiates (ed. by C. Manaphes) and the monk Chrysostomos (ed. by G. Papazoglou). A new Catalogue meeting the requirements of modern codicology is in progress by C. Cacouros. Texts from the manuscripts of this important collection were included in various editions of theological works, or in albums of dated Greek manuscripts, and the colophons and later notes of all the volumes were reproduced in a recent edition. Furthermore, most of the highly illuminated volumes were either described in the “Treasures o f the Greek Manuscripts from M ount Athos” as early as 1973, or were included in special Catalogues of exhibitions in Thessalonike (1997) and Paris (2009). In this paper special attention is given to the manuscripts of the collection dated before the foundation of the monastery and presented to the library during the period of the Turkish domination either by rulers of the Moldovlachia or by priests and monks. The thirty-four manuscripts mostly of theological and liturgical content, but also a few with secular texts, taken to Russia by Arsenii Shuchanov in 1654 are also referred to and identified in the Catalogue of Vladimir of the Synodal Library of Moscow. The five m anuscripts taken to France by Athanasios the Rhetor in the middle of the seventeenth century arealso identified in the Coislin collection of the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, as well as a few illuminated or precious volumes, described by Lambros and today missing, two of which are identified in American collections. The Scriptorium operating in the monastery from c. 1570 and for nearly a century thereafter, from which we know today of more than 200 volumes of theological and liturgical content, copied by a number of famous scribes imitating the liturgical script of the monastery of Hodegdn in Constantinople, is also examined briefly. A number of volumes are identified in the collection of the monastery and other monasteries of Mount Athos or Patmos. These distinguished copyists from the abbot Theonas, who seem to have initiated the scriptorium, to Ignatius, who also acted as a binder and rendered to demotic Greek earlier patristic texts, Daniel, Kyriakos and others, took great care of the library at a period when printed books were also arriving to the monastery from the west and were shelved side by side with the manuscripts. At a difficult period for Greek learning the monastery of Dionysiou kept the spirit of copying and studying the Orthodox theological and pateric texts alive. The content of the manuscripts of the monastery of Dionysiou is also considered. Special attention is given to the forty-eight volumes with secular and classical texts, such as excerpts from the history (Ίστορίη) of Herodotus, Plutarch, Diogenes Laertius, the Byzantine Triad of Euripides (Orestes, Troads and Phoenissai) with scholia, rhetorical texts of Lysias, Aelius Aristeides, and Libanius, philosophical texts of Proklos Diadochos and Michael Psellos, legal texts, like the compilation from the Basilica of Michael Attaleiotes and the Hexabiblos of Constantine Armenopoulos, grammatical works by George Choiroboskos, Maximos Planoudes and Manuel Moschopoulos. The collection also contains dictionaries, chronicles, and a number of textbooks used for teaching purposes during the period of Turkish rule. Finally, brief attention is given to the fifty-eight illuminated liturgical manuscripts of the library of Dionysiou, a number of which are de luxe volumes dated prior to the foundation of the monastery and originate mostly from Constantinople. Some of these precious m anuscripts including a number of scrolls, are preserved in excellent condition and were extensively studied in recent years by the students of Byzantine art. This precious collection is a mirror of the intellectual activities of generations of monks and learned abbots of the monastery of Dionysiou. These manuscripts were studied by monks and visitors who left their notes in the volumes themselves or recorded im portant events in the flyleaves of the books giving valuable information to the student of the history of the monastery itself and the whole of Mount Athos. | en |
