For almost three centuries, scholars have debated the
credibility of the information provided in the colophon of Codex
Parisinus graecus 1115. According to this inscription, the
manuscript was copied in the year 1276 from another manuscript
dating back to the year 774/5; the archetype originated in the
papal library at Rome and contains a partial record of the Greek
holdings of the library.
The majority of the texts included in the manuscript come from
florilegia related to the ecumenical councils. This volume examines
the use of florilegia anthologies of earlier writings by these
councils. Analysis of the contents of the manuscript provides new
information concerning, among other things, the beginning of the
"Filioque" controversy and the use of Iconophile florilegia by the
seventh ecumenical council in 787. Also revealed is the archetype's
role in the negotiations between Rome and Constantinople that led
to the Union of the Churches, proclaimed at the Council of Lyons II
in 1274, and the indirect involvement of Thomas Aquinas through his
"Contra Errores Graecorurn."
