In the proem of his Exegesis in canonem iambicum, Eustathius of Thessalonica denies authorship of the hymn, subject of his commentary, by John Damascene and attributes it instead to John Arklas, an author otherwise unknown to us, whom Eustathius calls “learned and illustrious” and whom he likens to the erudite George Choeroboscus of Constantinople. This brief essay focuses on the information we can glean from the Exegesis on these two intellectuals, both of whom Ronchey posits as belonging to the period of the second iconoclasm.
Nel proemio della sua Exegesis in canonem iambicum, Eustazio di Tessalonica disconosce a Giovanni Damasceno la paternità dell’inno commentato, attribuendola invece a Giovanni Arklas, autore a noi non altrimenti noto, che Eustazio definisce “sapiente e illustre” e che accosta al dotto costantinopolitano Giorgio Cherobosco. Il breve contributo è dedicato alle informazioni che dall’Exegesis si possono trarre su questi due intellettuali, per entrambi i quali l’autrice ipotizza un’appartenenza all’età del secondo iconoclasmo.

Abstract
In the proem of his Exegesis in canonem iambicum, Eustathius of Thessalonica denies authorship of the hymn, subject of his commentary, by John Damascene and attributes it instead to John Arklas, an author otherwise unknown to us, whom Eustathius calls “learned and illustrious” and whom he likens to the erudite George Choeroboscus of Constantinople. This brief essay focuses on the information we can glean from the Exegesis on these two intellectuals, both of whom Ronchey posits as belonging to the period of the second iconoclasm.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
