Encomium S. Dionysii Areopagitae ex Menaeis Graecis

The Byzantine office hymns and prose notice for Dionysius's October feast, from the Greek liturgical books (the Menaia): stanzas with their Theotokia, then the synaxarion's account of Carpus's vision and of Dionysius's martyrdom. In Greek, with the editors' notes (Migne, PG 4). The text was first read by Gemini (a machine reader), and the Reading Room checked a sample of its columns against the page. Our scan lacks the leaf with columns 577-578, which carries the title and opening, so the Greek begins mid-word in column 580. Where the scan cuts the page's outer edge, the words in angle brackets are conjectures.
