The Introduction, which gives information about the life and work
of Procopius and also about previous editions and studies of the
text, is followed by Chapter 1 which contains an analytical
codicological and palaeological description of codex Ath, which was
written in the late 13th century and is thus the earliest extant ms
of Procopius' Wars. Section 2 examines the position of the codex in
the stemma codicum, proposed by the latest editor of the text,
Jacob Haury, Procopius Caesariensis Opera Omnia (Teubner: Leipzig,
1905-12, revised by G.Wirth, 1963). A collation of the text with
the principal manuscripts (K and L) of the two families, z and y,
shows that Ath belongs to the y family. A further collation of Ath
with all other extant manuscripts of this family of the fifteenth
and sixteenth centuries, illustrates the importance of Ath in the
tradition of the text, despite its minor phonetic, grammatical,
syntactical and linguistic errors. Section 3 gives a description
and updated information of all manuscripts of family y, which were
briefly described by previous editors, and some of them were not
examined at all, before their relation is examined and the stemma
codicum is revised on the basis of a series of propositions. It is
concluded that Ath has been the exemplar for some of the later
manuscripts, either directly or through intermediaries. The study
concludes with a more theoretical chapter, Section 4, which places
the production of Ath and other manuscripts, containing Procopius'
works and other early Byzantine historiographical texts, in the
general context of the intellectual milieu of the Palaeologan
period.
