Liste des poemes de Jean Geometre Planches 1-11BibliographieIndex rerum et nominum Index locorum Index verborum graecorum John Geometres (10th century) is a key figure in the history of Byzantine poetry. His poems were first published in 1841 by J.A. Cramer, whose edition is based on a single manuscript and contains a large number of inaccuracies. Nonetheless, all the subsequent editors of John Geometres' poems have used this edition without consulting the manuscript(s) themselves. This book presents a new edition of his poems in hexameters and elegiacs, with critical apparatus, commentary and translation. It is a reference book not only for scholars of Byzantine literature, but also for historians and art historians of the Middle Byzantine period, enabling them to arrive at a better formed judgement of the poet and the cultural history of his time. à la mémoire de mon père, Scato, et à ma mère, Marijke Jean Géomètre ; Edition, Traduction, Commentaire Par Emilie Marlène Van Opstall.
