Comment This epigram is part of a cycle of epigrams on miniatures of “Herrenfesten und Wunderszenen”. They could have functioned as miniature captions (cf. Hörandner 1992: 113-115), but there is no evidence of paratextuality in the extant manuscripts known to us so far.
This cycle of epigrams occurs in the following manuscripts, where they do not function as book epigrams:
- Athos, Mone Batopediou 36 (ff. 72v-74r) (11th c.)
- Venice, Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana, gr. Z. 507 (ff. 76r-77v) (12th c.)
- Naples, Biblioteca Nazionale Vittorio Emanuele III, II C 34 (ff. 1r-3v) (16th c.)
- Vatican City, Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Ott. gr. 408 (16th c.)
