DE SCHOLIIS AD AREOPAGITAM IN HOC TOMO EDITIS.
On the Scholia on the Areopagite Edited in This Volume.
Utrum Germani patriarchae scholia ad Areopagitam, quae partim adhuc in mss. codd. latere videntur, seniorem habeant parentem Germanum, ut putat Baronius ad an. 730, an juniorem, nunc quidem disputare non vacat. Caeterum ego in Vaticano codice hanc legebam praepositam scholiis inscriptionem : Ὅσα μὲν ἔχουσι τὸν ἀριθμὸν, σχόλια εἰσὶ Γερμανοῦ πατριάρχου· ὅσα δὲ ἄνευ ἀριθμοῦ, Μαξίμου μοναχοῦ· Quaecunque habent adjunctum numerum, ea sunt Germani patriarchae scholia; quae vero nota numerali carent Maximum monachum habent auctorem. Verumtamen ibi in margine haec ab amanuensi fit adnotatio : Συγχώρησον, ἀδελφὲ, ὅτι ἐγὼ τῶν δύο ἕνα ἀριθμὸν τέταχα τοῦ βιβλίου· Ignosce, frater; etenim ego utrumque auctorem sub uno numero collocavi hoc in libro. Id ego eo libentius observavi, quia v. cl. Jac. Morellius Bibl. Gr. S. Marci p. 89, prudenter jam dubitaverat, num distinctio scholiorum Maximi et Germani ad Areopagitam recte se habeat. — MAI, Spicileg. Rom., VII, 74.
Whether the scholia of the patriarch Germanus on the Areopagite, which in part seem still to lie hidden in manuscript codices, have the elder Germanus for their parent, as Baronius holds at the year 730, or the younger, there is no leisure to dispute now. For the rest, in a Vatican codex I read this inscription set before the scholia: "Those that have the number are scholia of Germanus the patriarch; those without a number, of Maximus the monk." Whatever has a number attached is a scholion of Germanus the patriarch; whatever lacks the numeral mark has Maximus the monk for its author. Yet there in the margin the copyist makes this note: "Forgive me, brother, for I have set the two under one number of the book." Forgive me, brother; for I have placed both authors under one number in this book. I noted this the more gladly because that distinguished man Jac. Morelli, Bibl. Gr. S. Marci p. 89, had already prudently doubted whether the distinction between the scholia of Maximus and of Germanus on the Areopagite is sound. — Mai, Spicilegium Romanum, VII, 74.
