The two poems Descriptio S. Sophiae and Descriptio Ambonis of Paul
the Silentiary, composed for the inauguration (562 AD) of the
church of St. Sophia (Istanbul) after its partial rebuilding, are
an invaluable source for the history of Byzantine arts and a
beautiful piece of late Greek poetry. Silentiary's poems
respectively describe the church and its (now lost) pulpit. The
Descriptio S. Sophiae also contains a lavish praise of emperor
Justinian and of the patriarch Eutichius. De Stefani s edition is
based on a collation of the witness of the text, Heid. Pal. gr. 23,
and takes into account all previous bibliography. Some corrupted
passages of the poems have been emendated, thefew false readings
still present in the text printed by the last, authoritative
editor, P. Friedlander (1912), have been corrected."
