Descrizione

Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - The Jerusalem palimpsest (ms. H) is probably the oldest extant manuscript to contain sizeable portions of the text of Euripides. Fragments of six plays are represented: Hecuba, Phoenissae, Orestes, Andromacha, Hippolytus, and Medea. The total number of Euripidean lines is 1593. According to Papadopoulos-Kerameus, in the thirteenth century the manuscript was located in the monastery of Prodromos, near the Jordan River. From there it passed to the nearby religious community (laura) of St. Sabba where it was seen in 1844 by the Russian Archimandrite Porphyry Uspensky, in 1857 by the Oxford librarian, H. O. Coxe, and finally by C. Tischendorf. At some time before 1891 (the date of Papadopoulos-Kerameus' catalogue of the Jerusalem manuscripts) the palimpsest was incorporated into the Greek Patriarchal Library of Jerusalem.
