from Part IV - New Texts, New Interpretations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 October 2024
This chapter deals with Constantine Manasses’ Astrological Poem. The first section discusses the editorial problems of the work, in the light of Emmanuel Miller’s edition and the new data that the poem’s enriched manuscript tradition has to offer. The second section traces and presents some of Manasses’ possible sources. The third section delineates the cultural milieu in which the poem was composed, which includes Manasses’ association with the circle of sebastokratorissa Irene, as well as the poem’s (possible) relation to other relevant works written during the reign of Manuel I Komnenos – one of them by none other than the emperor himself.
