Accentazione delle ossitone in rapporto ai segni di divisione nei vangeli in B (03)

This article presents the study of the use of the acute and grave accents of the oxytone words in relation to the spaces and other text-division signs found in the Gospel texts of the Codex B Vaticanus Graecus 1209, transcribed in the 4th century. The accents and aspirates of the codex were completed between the 9th and 10th centuries (the most commonly accepted period). The research concentrates on the following areas: 1) if the oxytone words followed by spaces have an acute or grave accent; 2) a return to the criteria that influenced the use of one or other of the accents; 3) an attempt is made to establish, on the basis of the use of the two accents, if and in what measure the person who put the accents interpreted and respected the above-mentioned signs of division, especially with regard to spaces and paragraphos.
