Review(s)
« Depuis 2008 une équipe louvaniste aux contours variables, menée principalement par Peter Van Deun et Reinhart Ceulemans, édite peu à peu le Florilège Coislin, l’une des principales anthologies de la période byzantine. La plupart des lettres de ce florilège alphabétique ont été publiées individuellement, (…) avec le présent volume, issue de la thèse soutenue en 2008 par J.M. sous la direction des deux savants ci-dessus, ce sont les lettres Δ-Ζ qui sont maintenant disponbiles. (…) L’auteur a traité avec sérieux et méthode une tradition manuscrite complexe, pour établir un texte qu’on peut espérer solide et probant. » (Mathieu Cassin, dans Revue des études byzantines, 81, 2023, p. 352-355)

Summary
The Florilegium Coislinianum is a Byzantine alphabetical anthology compiled sometime between the end of the ninth and the beginning of the tenth century, most probably in Southern Italy. A research team based at the KU Leuven has already published several sections of the anthology. The present volume offers the first critical edition of three significant sections, namely, Books Δ-Z. The Greek text is based on the collation of more than 25 witnesses and is accompanied by a set of apparatuses: manuscripts, sources, parallels in other anthologies, titles, apparatus criticus, apparatuses of comparison with sources and other anthologies, and marginalia. The critical edition is supplemented with a philological introduction which explores the manuscript tradition, offers a complete textual study of the witnesses that contain excerpts from Books Δ-Z, and studies the links between the Florilegium Coislinianum and other relevant Byzantine florilegia such as Sacra, Corpus Parisinum, and Loci communes of a Ps.-Maximus the Confessor.
