This paper examines a brief paraenetic poem (Carmen Marcianum, henceforth CM), hitherto unpublished and preserved in an additional quire of the Marc. gr. VII, 51. The main feature of the CM is the use of exact quotations borrowed from other Byzantine poets (namely, John Mauropous and Nicholas of Corcyra) as “stylistic tiles” for the poem on the vanity of human concerns. Besides exact quotations, the CM provides vivid examples and poetical images of vanitas rerum, while (re)writing the text closely in Mauropous’ steps.

Abstract
This paper examines a brief paraenetic poem (Carmen Marcianum, henceforth CM), hitherto unpublished and preserved in an additional quire of the Marc. gr. VII, 51. The main feature of the CM is the use of exact quotations borrowed from other Byzantine poets (namely, John Mauropous and Nicholas of Corcyra) as “stylistic tiles” for the poem on the vanity of human concerns. Besides exact quotations, the CM provides vivid examples and poetical images of vanitas rerum, while (re)writing the text closely in Mauropous’ steps.File in questo prodotto:
