A Commented Psalter under the Name of Nicephorus Blemmydes (ScholPs)

The scholia to the Psalter ( ScholPs ), a significant part of which was published in 1863 in volume 142 of Patrologia Graeca under the name of the famous Byzantine scholar Nicephorus Blemmydes, have come down in various versions and are still extremely poorly researched. The research is based almost exclusively on Migne’ edition, which combines various texts and disregards the beginning of ScholPs , which distinguishes these different versions most. For further research into this commentary, which was widely circulated in the 13th–16th centuries and probably did not originate from Blemmydes, it is first necessary to gain an overview of the extant variants. This article deals with the most important manuscripts containing this text.
