THE LIBRARY OF THE MONASTERY OF DIONYSIOU
ON MOUNT ATHOS
The Monastery of Dionysiou on Mount Athos was founded by the Emperor Alexios III Megalokomnenos of Trebizond in 1374 and its library is considered among the most important of the Holy Mountain, both in size as well as in
content. It contains 1080 Greek and 6 Slavonic manuscripts, including 27
scrolls, of which 125 are parchment volumes -containing among the valuable
ones a partly palimpsest (cod. no. 91) and two copied in the uncial script (cod.
no. 21 and the missing today cod. no. 1)-, a few were copied on Oriental or
bombycine paper and the rest on Western paper.
Catalogues of the collection were prepared by Spyridon Lambros in 1895,
while later acquisitions were described by Eulogios Kourilas, Euthymios
Dionysiates (ed. by C. Manaphes) and the monk Chrysostomos (ed. by G. Papazoglou).
A new Catalogue meeting the requirements of modern codicology
is in progress by C. Cacouros.
Texts from the manuscripts of this important collection were included in
various editions of theological works, or in albums of dated Greek manuscripts,
and the colophons and later notes of all the volumes were reproduced
in a recent edition. Furthermore, most of the highly illuminated volumes were
either described in the “Treasures o f the Greek Manuscripts from M ount
Athos” as early as 1973, or were included in special Catalogues of exhibitions
in Thessalonike (1997) and Paris (2009).
In this paper special attention is given to the manuscripts of the collection
dated before the foundation of the monastery and presented to the library during
the period of the Turkish domination either by rulers of the Moldovlachia
or by priests and monks. The thirty-four manuscripts mostly of theological and
liturgical content, but also a few with secular texts, taken to Russia by Arsenii
Shuchanov in 1654 are also referred to and identified in the Catalogue of
Vladimir of the Synodal Library of Moscow. The five m anuscripts taken to
France by Athanasios the Rhetor in the middle of the seventeenth century arealso identified in the Coislin collection of the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris,
as well as a few illuminated or precious volumes, described by Lambros and today
missing, two of which are identified in American collections.
The Scriptorium operating in the monastery from c. 1570 and for nearly a
century thereafter, from which we know today of more than 200 volumes of
theological and liturgical content, copied by a number of famous scribes imitating
the liturgical script of the monastery of Hodegdn in Constantinople, is
also examined briefly. A number of volumes are identified in the collection of
the monastery and other monasteries of Mount Athos or Patmos. These distinguished
copyists from the abbot Theonas, who seem to have initiated the scriptorium,
to Ignatius, who also acted as a binder and rendered to demotic Greek
earlier patristic texts, Daniel, Kyriakos and others, took great care of the library
at a period when printed books were also arriving to the monastery from
the west and were shelved side by side with the manuscripts. At a difficult period
for Greek learning the monastery of Dionysiou kept the spirit of copying
and studying the Orthodox theological and pateric texts alive.
The content of the manuscripts of the monastery of Dionysiou is also considered.
Special attention is given to the forty-eight volumes with secular and
classical texts, such as excerpts from the history (Ίστορίη) of Herodotus,
Plutarch, Diogenes Laertius, the Byzantine Triad of Euripides (Orestes, Troads
and Phoenissai) with scholia, rhetorical texts of Lysias, Aelius Aristeides, and
Libanius, philosophical texts of Proklos Diadochos and Michael Psellos, legal
texts, like the compilation from the Basilica of Michael Attaleiotes and the
Hexabiblos of Constantine Armenopoulos, grammatical works by George
Choiroboskos, Maximos Planoudes and Manuel Moschopoulos. The collection
also contains dictionaries, chronicles, and a number of textbooks used for
teaching purposes during the period of Turkish rule.
Finally, brief attention is given to the fifty-eight illuminated liturgical
manuscripts of the library of Dionysiou, a number of which are de luxe volumes
dated prior to the foundation of the monastery and originate mostly from
Constantinople. Some of these precious m anuscripts including a number of
scrolls, are preserved in excellent condition and were extensively studied in recent
years by the students of Byzantine art.
This precious collection is a mirror of the intellectual activities of generations
of monks and learned abbots of the monastery of Dionysiou. These manuscripts
were studied by monks and visitors who left their notes in the volumes
themselves or recorded im portant events in the flyleaves of the books giving
valuable information to the student of the history of the monastery itself and
the whole of Mount Athos.
