La silloge di epigrammi ‘lucianei’ del codice Riccardiano 25

At f. IIIv of codex Riccardianus 25 (Florence, second half of the fifteenth century), which contains several works by Lucian, a still unidentified hand, probably from the end of the fifteenth century, added ten epigrams that it attributes to Lucian himself. Although the poems are attested elsewhere, the text of the Riccardianus presents several interesting elements. This paper offers a critical edition of the epigrams and investigates their connections with other extant sources. In particular, it focuses on the similarities with P (Palatinus gr. 23), which had still to be ‘discovered’ when the Riccardianus was written, but whose readings seem to have exerted an influence, either direct or indirect, on the Riccardianus itself.
