| Based on Codex III AA 9 in the Biblioteca Nazionale di Napoli, this is a critical edition of the paraenetic poem by Cretan poet Stephanos Sachlikis, in which he advises Frantziskis, son of an old friend, to avoid gambling, whoring and carousing at night. The introduction preceding the text presents the results of a comparison between this particular version and those in the Montpelier and Paris manuscripts appearing in G. Wagner’s edition (Leipzig 1874). The author argues in support of the hypothesis that all three derive from a common original, which Markos Defanaras, a later poet, must have known when composing the Logoi Didaktikoi. |
