Resti di un manoscritto musicale italogreco a Baronissi (Salerno)

This contribution deals with eight Greek parchment fragments from a now lost palimpsest manuscript. They were re-used as pastedowns glued to the textblocks in the bindings of a two-volume printed book of the sixteenth century which is today preserved in the library of the Franciscan monastery of the Santissima Trinità at Baronissi, in the province of Salerno. For these scraps – which in the scriptio superior transmit brief parts of hymns (kontakia) of the Easter cycle that were probably meant to be accompanied by middle Byzantine musical notation –, it is argued that they had an Italo-Greek origin and that they date to the thirteenth century.
