« La sténographie de Michel Psellos (The Stenography of Michael Psellos). Jahrbuch der Österreichischen Byzantinistik|Jahrbuch der Österreichischen Byzantinistik 69. Band| », Elektronisches Publikationsportal der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschafte, ID : 10.1553/joeb69s275
The aim of this article is to contribute to our understanding of a very controversial passage in Psellos’s Encomium of Symeon Metaphrastes, where this author alludes to a team working for Metaphrastes, that is composed of three groups of copyists. Though it has recently been suggested again in recent studies, the conventional interpretation of this passage according to which stenography could be in play, is far from convincing. Two solutions are proposed here: either the redaction process of the Menologion of Metaphrastes was different from how it has been conceived, or—more likely—Psellos is referring to another work by Metaphrastes.
