Das Florilegium Vindobonense: neue Handschrift, neue Fragen

Abstract

This paper deals with the textual tradition of the Florilegium Vindobonense (14th century). According to the current state of research, only one manuscript of this alphabetical anthology is known, which can be found in Codex Philologicus Graecus 169 (Austrian National Library). In preparing the text for edition, however, I found another manuscript that contains the anthology in its entirety. Codex Vaticanus Graecus 895 also dates from the beginning of the 14th century. This article examines the relationship between the two text variants in light of the provenience of the manuscripts and textual criticism.
