It was impossible to observe anything like chronological order in

the present collection of these Poems, many works remaining as yet
uncopied. The Editor earnestly requests Greek residents in Paris and
Vienna to follow the example so generously set them by M. Gidel, by
copying one or another of the works enumerated in the Prolegomena^
and hitherto unpublished. He begs to assure the readers of the preserl
volv/me, both Greeks and others interested in the subject, that the whJ
has been a labour of love, not intended to reimburse the Editorr
his expenses and time, or calculated to bring any gain to the S<J ^
which liberally undertakes its publication. Communications shoi

PROLEGOMENA.

AVIA PERAGRO LOCA.

Though it is not my intention here to enter into a dis-

cussion of the question — so difi&cult and so much ventilated
by scholars — as to the exact relations of quantity and accent
to each other in ancient Greek, it cannot be avoided to state
here in a few words the results of a careful and unprejudiced
investigation into the historical process of the gradual de-
velopment of a metrical system, based on quantity, into one
having accent as its substratum and neglecting all quanti-
tative rules ; and, in so doing, it appears desirable to abstain
entirely from theoretical fancies and hypotheses, however

(
ingenious, and rely on facts alone.
We must, therefore, at the very outset, leave aside Ritschl's
assertion,^ that the ditty of the Lesbian woman on Pittacus
8) ^ should be measured according to the accent,
and not as quantitative verse. We pass on to a remarkable
passage in Dionysius of Halicarnassus, in his work de com-
pos, verb. c. 4 (p. 48 Schafer), and in order to enable the

''
reader to form his own judgment, we subjoin the text.
Dionysius is discussing the importance of the order of words,

and expresses himself as follows : ùe e'/c

G. Hermann ^ justly complains that Dionysius's words have

been left without explanation by his editors and commen-

hitting the real sense of the passage in question. He objects
to the reading instead of which he proposes
though he is then obliged to add " et quis
credat, versus, quales Dionysius composuit, a quoquam Grrae-

corum factos esse ? solus is qui ultimus est ferri j)otest ; duo

AYhatever may be our ultimate judgment on this difficult

possibility of writing accentual verse, though I am far from
maintaining that such verse was actually practised to any
extent during his own time. In could not be done

It appears, therefore, that the poems written in the ancient

quantitative metres, after the fourth century, can only be con-
sidered as imitations of classical poetry made in conformity
with rules taught in the schools where grammatical tradition
was kept up : in other words, Quintus Smyrnseus and Aga-
thias should be judged by exactly the same standard as their
modern rival Philippos loannu,^- of whose company they
need not be ashamed. But mere imitation of something
dead must always, sooner or later, give way to the living ;

,
for with truth has it been observed, " nur der lebende hat
recht." And so it happens here : in the end the accentual
system entirely supersedes the artificial imitation of the
ancients, and the with its fifteen syllables,

becomes so firmly established that it henceforth maintains its

place in Greek poetry.
In order to understand the ascendency thus gained by the
principle of vulgar or popular versification over the metres
of the educated, it becomes necessary to glance at the con-

dition of the Greek language in the middle ages.^^

In speaking of later Greek, it is advisable to divide the
whole subject into three distinct periods. The first period
extends from the beginning of our era to the time of the
Iconoclasts, and during it the language gradually, yet
steadily advances in decay, the best writers still clinging to

deserted them. The second period begins with the com-

motions of the Iconoclasts (c. 720), and leading through the
time of Photius (f 891), when a decided change is perceived,
ends with the establishment of the Latin Empire at Con-
stantinople (1204-1261). During this time the vulgar lan-
guage gains in firmness and strength, and at the end of
this period it has already become a recognized power both at
Court and with the people. This power makes itself espe-
cially felt in the continent of Greece and in the islands,
during the continuance of the French and ItaKan princi-
palities, while, after the downfall of the Latin Empire, a reac-

tionary movement sets in at Constantinople in favour of the

old literature and language, a movement beneficial in itself
for where would the Greek scholars have been without it,
who, in the 15th and 16th centuries were to enlighten the
—
West ? but utterly abortive, so far as its more immediate
influence upon the Greek nation was concerned. There can
be no doubt that the common language was largely spoken,
even at the Byzantine Court, during the last two centuries of
the Empire a fact sufficiently proved by the satiric invec-
:

tives of Mazaris ^^ against courtiers notorious for incorrect

language, and by the neglected and slovenly style of the last
writers, especially Phranzes and Ducas. This tendency of
reverting to the ancient forms was, of course, deprived of its
best support by the capture of Constantinople by the Turks
(1453), and by the subsequent flight of most learned Greeks
to the countries of the "West. I say of its best support : but
there remained the clergy, and thanks to the Turkish

Greek clergy saw themselves placed to counteract the endeavours of the Romish
missionaries to gain the adherence of the multitude by tracts written in the
vulgar tongue.
•Vi PROLEGOMENA.

The time of Photius has already been marked as a turning-

point in the history of the Greek language. Until then we
may presume that ancient Greek was still to a certain extent
a living language, and that a canon of correctness was aimed
at even in the spoken and not only in the written language ;

but after this time it cannot be denied that the ancient lan-
guage is to the great bulk of the nation a dead language it ;

was then that the language of historical reminiscences and

and of abstract thought, the language
traditions, of religion
of history and scholarship, of science in general, becomes
separated from the speech of the house and of the market.^^

These instances can be easily increased see Ritschl, Opusc.:

of the present introduction, where he shows that it is also

possible to press Homeric hexameters into political metre !

,
But another fact

^5 Immediately before Eustathius speaks of the

form
-
can be elicited from Eustathius's words,

of ew in the Homeric
in which he contends that the two vowels form only one syllable.
This synizesis he goes then on to illustrate by the example of the popular poetry
of his time.
^3 This passage is also quoted and commented on by Henrichsen, " TJeber die

sogeuannten politischeu Verse bei den Griechen " (Leipzig, 1839), pp. 19 sqq.
PROLEGOMENA.

viz., tliat the popular verses made at his time very frequently

exceeded the number of fifteen syllables, but that in the

rhythmical recitation vowels were often joined by s?/mzesis,
80 that virtually the proper number of syllables was still

observed. This applies, of course, to the popular verses of

the period; but in the political verses written in ancient
Greek by the later Byzantine writers we find the
only exceptionally.
We
have no popular song of the period of Eustathius
(c. but we possess a song, only recently discovered
1160) ;

by Zampelios, and which contains a fabulous account of a

certain Andronikos, in whom Max Budinger^" justly re-
cognizes Andronikos, an adventurer who, in the twelfth
century, led a romantic existence, now on the battle-field,
now near the throne, now in prison now with Greeks, and
;

then again on the side of the Infidels, and finally on the

throne of Constantinople. M. Biidinger justly shows that
the whole account is too fabulous to suppose that this poem
can belong to the same period as the events of which it

treats ; but, on the other hand, the language in which it is

written is of such a nature as to forbid us to assign its

composition to any date much later than the fourteenth

century. Though, therefore, not the first composition in
the new language, as Zampelios imagined, the poem yet
should not be unmentioned in a treatise on the earliest
left

specimens of "Romaic."
The late Professor D. J. Maurophrydes, of Athens, pro-

appeared in 1866, under the title

.
jected a collection of these works, the first volume of which
: ^\<
(548 pp. and 20 pp. preface).
At the head of his collection he places the didactic poem, ad-
dressed by Alexios Komnenos to his nephew Spaneas, 480 —
lines, written in a language which even now-a-days a Greek

would pronounce to be " pure." Maurophrydes is quite

certain that the author of this poem cannot be the same as
the Emperor of that name, who ascended the throne a.d.

1080 ; but lie attributes it to another unknowTi member of

the house of the Komnenes. I do not see the reasons for
being so positive on this point, and I think that, after all,

it may be the Emperor who composed the poem ; —no great

achievement however ; — but I agree with Maurophrj^des as
to the period of the poem, the language of which is evi-
dently more ancient than that of Ptochoprodromos, who is

about 70 years later.^^

Greek, again directly addressed to the Emperor. We may
consider this as an indication that the ancient language was
still the official form at court.
The second poem (655 lines, 31 at the beg. and 35 at the
end, in ancient Greek) is of greater interest than the first,

and must indeed be considered as a valuable contribution

to our knowledge of the history of the time. In this the

After this specimen of Greek, and after the very candid con-

difficulty in understanding Tzetzes's complaints :but how
low must have been the state of learning at the court of
Thessalonike, if, indeed, no better man could be found for
the proposed " modernization " of Homer than this poverty-

stricken Hermoniakos. Even Maurophrydes loses Lis temper

with him, patient though he generally is —and patience is

a very necessary virtue for an editor of Medieval Greek

texts ; —but I will rather refer the reader to Maurophrydes' s

observations (p. sq.) than waste more of my own time over

this wretched production. But it should be observed, that, in
spite of the author's distinct promise, he gives us anything
but a translation of Homer, but merely an abstract of Dares.^*
This poem has led us already beyond the year 1204, in
which the Byzantine Empire at Constantinople had to yield
to the Crusaders, and a Latin Empire was established in the
East. This empire was itself of no very long duration, but
some of its dependencies, i.e. the French (partly Italian)
principalities in the Peloponnesus (Morea), Attica, and the
islands, for a considerable time resisted the feeble efforts of
the later Byzantine Emperors to regain possession of these
old parts of their empire. It cannot be the intention of this

which relates, in 1189 lines, the conquest of Constantinople
by the Latin Crusaders the second, in nearly 6000 lines, the
;

conquest of the Peloponnesus by Guillaume de Champlitte

(),
{Miaèp vrè SaXo), and Geoffroy de Yillehardouin
until the reign of his granddaughter Isabelle
de Villehardouin (1205-1314). This poem had been exten-
sively used by Ducange in his "Glossarium mediae et infimae
graecitatis," and the same scholar contemplated its publi-
cation at the end of his projected edition of Nikephoros
Gregoras ; but death overtook him before he could carry out
his intention. Boivin, who then edited the first part of
Nikephoros Gregoras, died in the same way before the poem
was published, and it was only in 1825 that J. A. Buchon
published the Greek text of the first book, and a complete
translation in French of the second.^•" Sixteen years after-
wards, Buchon published the complete Greek text after the two
Paris MSS. (Nos. 2898 and 2753)," and four years later he
re-edited the poem after the MS. meanwhile discovered at
Copenhagen, which is more complete than the two Paris
MSS.^^ Meanwhile Buchon had also succeeded in finding a
French work on the same subject, which he was inclined to
consider as the original of the Greek, viz. the book " De la
Conqueste de la Moree " but I believe that Dr. Ellissen is
;

right in doubting this last inference of the French scholar.^^

But however this may be, we have here before us a poem
written in the most curious Greek that may well be con-
ceived the author uses a kind of mongrel language, three-
;

fourths Greek and one-fourth French, and the havock he

makes in grammar and construction is something indescri-
bable. Yet there is no doubt that this Greek was the lan-
guage then used in the Peloponnesu s, so far as it was under

the French knights ; it has, however, disappeared from Greek

soil without leaving many traces, just as only here and there
in the country a medieval ruin, perched on some rock, reminds
the traveller on classic soil that once there was here a French
principality.
In the Chronicles of the Franks we have, it will be easily
understood, the vulgar language of the period in its worst
appearance ; but many wordsFrench and Italian origin
of
occur also in the romances which we shall now enumerate,
and, above all, we shall observe that the subjects of these
romances are either distinctly of a French origin, or at least
moulded on French models.
On these romances we refer our readers to the excellent
work :
" E'tudes sur la littérature grecque moderne. Imi-
tations en grec de nos romans de chevalerie depuis le xii®
siècle. Ouvrage couronné, en 1864, par l'Académie des In-
scriptions et Belles-Lettres ;

imprimé à l'Imprimerie Impériale, 1866.
romances had not
It should be observed that the taste for
to be created by foreigners in Greece not to speak of the ;

older romances by Heliodorus, Xenophon of Ephesus, and

others, we find, in the time immediately preceding the in-
vasion of the French, a considerable number of romances
written in ancient Greek, and, no doubt, intended for the
reading public of the caj)ital ; but these romances, imperfect
as they are, are framed on ancient models, and the spirit
still

of chivalry has no part in them. Such works are the loves

of Rhodanthe and by Theodores Prodromes the
Drosicles, ;

loves of Aristandros and Kallithea, by Konstantinos Manasses

(of which we possess only 612 lines, while the original com-
position was in nine books) and finally, the loves of Drosilla
;

and Charikles, by Niketas Eugenianos, written, as the writer

takes care to inform us, in imitation of the late philosopher
Prodromes. This last production may be briefly charac-
terised as the ne plus ultra of bad taste.^*^

*" See on the whole suhject the entertaining work

by Victor Chauvin : Les
Eomanciers Grecs et Latins. Paris, Hiizel, 1862.
XVI PROLEGOMENA.

As a sign of tlie taste of the period we may here also

mention the translation made of the tales of the seven wise
masters, by one Andreopulos the work is in prose, but in
;

very much the same language as the metrical romances of

which we are going to speak. To all intents and purposes,
this book may therefore be considered as the oldest specimen
of " Romaic " prose.*^
But though the taste for romances existed, the taste for
chivalry was no doubt an importation, but one which is
quite in keeping with the taste really shown by several
Byzantine emperors for the tournaments and other knightly
exercises introduced to their notice by the Crusaders.*^ A
very curious example of the existence at Constantinople of a
taste for chivalric adventures is the poem ';,
in which a legend of the cycle of the Table Round is related
in 306 political lines and in pretty good ancient Greek.*^
In the following account I have confined myself to the

by Ducange, Ind. Auct., p. 36, and appears in the present

volume for the first time, after a copy kindly made for me by
M. Gidel. The catalogue describes the MS. 390 in these
terms: "ISTarratio de Apollonio Tyrio e latina*^ lingua in
graecam conversa, is codex decimo quinto saeculo exaratus
videtur." The poem begins on fol. 149 and finishes 173b.

The writing is very bad, and the copyist must have been a
very ignorant person ; a fact of which every line of my criti-

cal notes will furnish sufficient proofs.*^ My conjectures and

emendations in this poem are, therefore, of a bolder nature
than would be permitted in compositions less corrupt.•^^

** This work is frequently quoted by Ducange in his Glossary, on the authority

who had used a MS. of
of Meursius, it in compiling his " Glossarium Graeco-
barbarum." M. Gidel, E'tudes, p. 57, says, " ce roman n'existe qu'en manuscrit
à la Bibliothèque impériale de Vienne," quoting in a note " Pierre Lambecius,
t. V." But I cannot find that Lambecius mentions this work in his Catalogue of
the MSS. at Vienna, and am afraid that M- Gidel did not verify- his quotation
before printing it. At all events, a more detailed citation would not have been

.
out of place. As it is, we cannot even be siu'e that this work is still in existence.

I have intentionally omitted tlie poems belonging to a

later date than the close of the fifteenth century, especially
the works of Demetrios Zenos, and the much-quoted
^. It was my purpose to give, if possible,

a complete list of the works written in the modern language,

from the earliest time until the year 1500. These works,
though of no great poetical or literary value, possess miich
interest when viewed in the light of historical philology,
inasmuch as they are the most important documents for
tracing the gradual development and growth of the modern
Greek language. So far back as 1864, I gave it as my
opinion that these works deserve to be collected " indice ver-
borum addito diligenti." I now propose to do so, and give
as a first instalment the present volume, which will be fol-
lowed by others in course of time, a "Glossary " and exege-
tical notes completing the whole.

THE HISTORY

APOLLONIUS OF TYEE,
ACCORDING TO THE LATIN ORIGINAL EDITED BY VELSER.'

In the city of Antiocli there once lived a king, called

Antiochus his queen died in giving birth to a daughter,
:

who grew up to be a very great beauty, and for whose hand

many princes came to sue. But an unholy love sprang up
in the breast of her father,and one day he went into her
chamber and forgetting that he was her father, usurped the
rights of a husband. The princess confessed this to her
nurse : but the unnatural father continued enjoying what
ought never to have been his, and in order to secure his

—
Anno MDxcv. Velser thought that he published the text for the first time see :

Brunet, Manuel 13.50 (ôth éd.). In his preface he says " Grœcum exemplar
Byzantii adhuc superesse existimo quse cnim in Constantinopolitana bibliotheca
:

inter Manuelis Eugenici libros memoratur, Historia Apollonii sapientissimi et

fortissimi viri, cum figiu'is, huius profecto Apollonii credenda est, cuius hie toties
sapientia prœdicatur, sed et in catalogo Cœsarese Vienneusis bibliqthecœ Apollonii
de TyiO historiam reperio." But the first was perhaps a MS. of the life of Apol-
lonius of Tyana, and the second is the well-known poem by Gabriel Kontianos
(see my Introduction). — For a future editor of the Latin text of this story I copy
here a notice found in a copy of Velser' s edition belonging to the library of the
University of Cambridge :

I add here that I know the reprint of the Latin text in Didot's Scriptores Erotici

daughter to himself, he put diiEcult questions to the suitors

who came for her if they could not answer them, they were
;

beheaded and their heads put on the gates of the city to

frighten others. Nothing daunted, Apollonius of Tyre, a
rich and noble youth, resolved to try his fortune the king ;

asked him the following riddle, I pursue crime, I feed on '

my mother's flesh, I seek my brother, the husband of my

mother, but do not find him.' Apollonius found the answer.
"You are right," said he, " you do pursue crime, only think
of yourself you do feed on your mother's flesh only think
;
—
of your daughter." The king was surprised and angry, but
yet more afraid that his wickedness would become known ;

so he answered " You have not given the right answer go :

and take thirty days to consider if you do not find it then,

;

prepare for death." Apollonius saw now that the king

meant to kill him if he could, and he hastened to Tyre.
The king sent one of his confidential servants, Thaliarchus
to pursue and kill Apollonius. He, however, arrived in
Tyre before Thaliarchus, loaded a ship with corn, gold, and
silver, and put to sea. The next day he was missed by the
citizens, who mourned for him Thaliarchus also arrived and
;

heard of his escape. This news induced king Antiochus to

proclaim a reward of fifty talents of gold to anyone who
should bring him Apollonius, dead or alive. The fugitive
had meanwhile landed at Tarsus but a Tyrian, called Hel-;

lanicus, saw him there and warned him of the danger he was
running on account of the said proclamation. Then Apol-
lonius saw a man called Strangulio, who told him that there
was a great famine at Tarsus he relieved the inhabitants by
:

distributing his corn among them. By the advice of Stran-

gulio and his wife Dionysias, Apollonius resolved to go to

Pentapolis in Cyrenaica ; in a fearful storm his ship sunk,

and he alone escaped. Naked and poor did he find himself
on the shore of Pentapolis a poor fisherman took pity on
:

him, shared his frugal meal with him, and even gave him
. one half of his ragged garment. He then showed Apollonius
the way to the town, saying as they parted, " If ever you
regain your former honour, think of the poor fisherman."
APOLLONIUS OF TYRE. 59

When Apollonius entered the city, he heard a boy calling

out " Who has a mind to bathe, let him come the bath and
;

g}Tnnasium are open." Apollonius went, and excelled all

there in symmetry. Alcistrates, the king of Pentapolis,

happened come to the same bath, and Apollonius attracted
to
his noticeby his skill in a game at ball, and by his attend-
ance on him while in the bath. The king gave Apollonius a
new suit and invited him to dinner. But the sight of royal
8j)lendour reminded the shipwrecked prince of his own former
state, and tears came into his eyes. The king's daughter
could not help noticing him, and, questioned by her, he con-
fessed the truth about his noble birth and former greatness.
The princess assured him of her own and the king's protec-
tion, and then proceeded to play on the lyre and sing. But
Apollonius showed himself superior to her in this art :

" taking the lyre, he stood there with a wreath on his head,
so that the guests and the king thought he was Apollo, not
Apollonius." But as to the princess, she fell in love with
him a magnificent present was given him by the king at
;

her request, and Apollonius was ordered to instruct her in

music and other arts. But her love was so excessive that
she though the physicians could not tell the nature of
fell ill,

her disease. About this time three princes sued for the hand
of the king's daughter they wrote their names down and
;

the king despatched Apollonius to his daughter with the

injunction that she was to decide on a husband. She wrote
back, that the shipwrecked man was her choice but this ;

answer was not understood by the king and the three suitors.
She then explained to the king that she wanted to have
Apollonius for a husband. Her father consented, and the
nuptials were celebrated with great rejoicings.
Six months after this Apollonius saw a ship near the shore
which he recognized as having come from Tyre, and from
the captain he learned the joyful news that king Antiochus
had been killed by lightning and that the citizens of Antioch
wanted Apollonius for their king. He resolved to go, and
his courageous wife, though with child, decided to accompany
him. The king's consent having been obtained, they put to
60 APOLLONIUS OF TYRE,

sea ; but the winds being unfavourable, the lady was con-
fined of a daughter and lay like one dead. The captain
refused to keep the body on board, out of superstition ; a
chest was made and well secured against the water, then the
lady was put into it with many treasures, and it was lowered
into the sea. The little girl, to whom she had given birth,
was now the only comfort left to the poor husband. On the
third day the chest drifted to the shore near Ephesus, and
was found by a physician called Chaeremon. In his house a
youth found out that the lady was not really dead, and
recalled her to life. To his and Chaeremon's endeavours
she owed her complete recovery after which she became a
;

priestess in the temple of Diana.

Apollonius himself landed at Tarsus, and there entrusted
his daughter to his friends Strangulio and Dionysias to be
educated with their daughter Philomatia. He gave her the
name of Tarsia, and left with her his nurse Ligoris. Then
he set out for Egypt. His daughter Tarsia grew up, and
when she was fourteen years old, her nurse Ligoris died;
but before her death, she disclosed to Tarsia her parentage.
Tarsia erected a beautiful monument to her memory and
often went there to spend some time in solitary meditation.
But Dionysias grew jealous when she heard that the citizens
praised Tarsia's beauty more than that of her daughter Phi-
lomatia. She bribed one of her slaves from a farm to kill
Tarsia he laid himself in ambush near the monument of
;

her nurse, and when she had come there, prepared to kill
her, but moved by her tears, he allowed her time to pray ;

suddenly pirates appeared and carried her off. Dionysias,

however, and her family, put on black garments and mourned
for Tarsia as if she were dead they even built a tomb and
;

placed an inscription on it. The pirates offered Tarsia for

sale in the market-place of Mitylene a rich pimp bought
;

her and took her to his house, where he ordered her to wor-
ship a statue of Priapus. 8he said " I have never worshipped
"
a statue like this pray, master, are you from Lampsacus ?
;

The pimp said " Why ? " She answered " Because the
citizens of Lampsacus worship Priapus." He then said,
APOLLONIUS OF TYRE. 61

" Wretched girl, do you not know that you have come into
the house of a rich pimp ? " She threw herself at his feet
and said " master, have pity on my virginity, and do not
prostitutemy body." But he made it publicly known that
he who deprived her of her maidenhood should pay half a
pound, after which she should be prostituted to all people at
a moderate price. Athenagoras, a noble youth, came first,

and to him Tarsia related her misfortunes and he made her

a great present without violating her virginity, and others
did the same : in the evening the girl gave the money to the
pimp, and so also on the following day. The pimp at last
found out that his slave was still a virgin, and now the in-
spector of public brothels heard the case of Tarsia she gave :

him an account of her accomplishments and obtained per-

mission to gain money by them rather than by prostituting
herself. But above others was Athenagoras kind to her.
In the meanwhile Apollonius returned to Tarsus to claim
his daughter the story of her death was related to him, and
;

why should he doubt it ? In utter despair he set out for

Tyre, but his ship was by adverse winds driven to Mitylene,

where the citizens were just engaged in celebrating the
festival of Poseidon. Apollonius gave his sailors the grati-
fication of taking part in the merry-making, though he
remained buried in his despondency. By chance Athena-
goras also came to his ship, and, asking for the master of it,

was informed of the cause of his grief. He desired to see

Apollonius, but his request was refused when, however, he
:

heard his name, he went down to him and invited him to

come and dine at Athenagoras's table but Apollonius
;

refused. Tarsia was now sent for, and ordered to try her
best in order to induce him to leave his retreat. She went
to Apollonius and her singing induced him to present her
with 100 ducats but to come he refused. Athenagoras
;

promised her 200 ducats, if she could persuade him to come

up. She now tried her riddles on Apollonius he answered, ;

but when she attempted to lead him on deck, he became

angry and kicked her with his foot, so that she fell bleeding
to the ground. Weeping, she cried out "This then is my
62 APOLLONIUS OF TYRE.

fate ! That I should be saved from Strangulio and Dionysias

to live here in this misery ! When will God restore me to
my father Apollonius ? " Then Apollonius recognised his
daughter, and his grief was changed into joy. Athenagoras
now asked for Tarsia's hand
but before she became his wife,
;

the pimp was by the citizens of Mitylene sentenced to die ;

the inspector of the brothels was rewarded for his kindness to

Tarsia. After the nuptials of Tarsia and Athenagoras, when
Apollonius was about to return to Tyre, he had a vision
which commanded him to visit the temple of Ephesus and
relate there all he had suffered. This he did, and in the
temple he was received by his wife not knowing her, he
;

gave her an account of his sufiferings, when she all of a

sudden fell on his neck and confessed she was the wife whom
he thought dead and who had been saved in such a mira-
culous manner.
Apollonius now took possession of the kingdom of Antioch
for himself, and gave Tyre to his son-in-law Athenagoras.
He went also to Tarsus, where Strangulio and Dionysias
received their well-deserved punishment. Thence Apollonius
sailed to Pentapolis, and king Alcistrates saw there once
more his daughter and son-in-law with a granddaughter who
was already married. Then the good fisherman who had
once shared his garment with Apollonius received his re-
ward, and Hellanicus also was rewarded. Apollonius ob-
tained a son by his wife with whom he had again been
united, and he and his queen lived to a very great age, in
undisturbed happiness. He himself composed a narrative
of his adventures : one copy he deposited in the temple of
Ephesus, the other in his own library.

ETUDE
SUR

APOLLONIUS DE TYR.
ROMAN ECRIT EN GREC ET EN VERS POLITIQUES,
D'APRÈS UNE VERSION LATINE.

L'Histoire d'Apollonius de Tyr, de ses aventures et de ses

malheurs a joui pendant tout le moyen âge de la plus grande
popularité. Ce sujet a disputé l'attention des lecteurs aux
romans les plus connus et aux légendes les plus intéressantes.
Sa destinée n'a pas été moins étonnante que son long succès.
" M. J. Victor Le Clerc croyait retrouver dans cette narration
du moyen âge quelques débris des narrations fabuleuses de la
belle antiquité grecque " l'illustre critique manquait de har-
;

diesse, il aurait pu dire avec un éditeur de l'Apollonius,

Welser, que l'original était sans aucun doute un de ces
romans grecs contemporains d'Héliodore et de Longus. " De
auctore vix hoc solum asserimus, grœce scripsisse, nam id miiUis
se aperit indiciis, una maxime quad Latinus interpres aliqua
prions sermonis verba retinuit, trihonarium, pro veste sordida,

quœ Grœcis est ; sabamim pro haheari linteo, apodixin

effet, il ne s'agit point là de notre héros, mais bien du Thau-

maturge Apollonius de Tyane. Le catalogue de la Biblio-

thèque Impériale de Vienne ne devait pas d'avantage nous
rendre cet original introuvable jusqu'ici, puisque le poëme
de Gabriel Contianus n'est qu'une traduction grecque en
vers rimes faite elle-même d'après une traduction latine.
Jusqu'à présent nous en sommes donc réduits à faire des
vœux pour la découverte du récit primitif. Mais si nous
n'avons pas l'espérance de le voir jamais reparaître, nous pou-
vons dire avec un des derniers éditeurs de ce Roman, que
tout dans le latin respire le grec, les constructions et les
mots, les personnes et les lieux, la religion et les mœurs,
et surtout les noms propres. Il n'y a pas jusqu'aux solécismes
eux-mêmes qui n'attestent cette origine.^ M. Lapaume à
qui nous empruntons cette observation judicieuse, croit devoir
faire remarquer que le traducteur était un chrétien du xiv®
siècle il aurait pu dire encore que l'auteur avait été lui aussi
;

un chrétien. L'on sait que des évêques écrivirent des ro-

mans païens même aux iv® et v^ siècles de l'ère chrétienne.
Il faut s'expliquer sur cette date du xiv^ siècle. Voudrait-il
donner à entendre que jusqu'à cette époque le roman d'Apol-
lonius ne fût lu qu'en langue grecque ? C'est fort invraisem-
blable. Il écrit lui-même qu'avant le v^ siècle il ne se ren-
contre aucune version d'Apollonius en aucune langue, tandis
que depuis versions en prose et en vers rivalisent ensemble.
Le manuscrit latin que M. Lapaume a édité peut bien être
du XIV® siècle, mais il n'était certes pas la première édition
de ce roman qui parût alors. On trouve dans le Gesta Ro-
manorum cette histoire merveilleuse, et ce recueil n'a fait que
rassembler sous une forme plus courte et plus commode des
sujets plus longuement développés par les poètes. Il est
certain que bien avant le xiv® siècle les chanteurs et les
jongleurs connaissaient l'aventure du Prince de Tyr et la

charmer la foule. Arnaud de Marsan, un poëte de la Pro-

une vieille romance attribue ces vers à Alphonse le Savant :

Quoi qu'on ait dit de la langue grecque et de sa persistance en
Occident à travers tout le moyen âge, on ne saurait avancer
que l'usage de cet idiome fût assez commun pourque les aven-
tures du prince de Tyr eussent eu des lecteurs si elles étaient
restées enfermées dans le texte grec que nous supposons avoir
été l'original. Au xiv'^ siècle l'on n'en avait plus que des
versions. On ne voit pas bien sur quoi se fonde M. Edele-
stand Duméril pour affirmer qu'il existait encore au xi®
siècle. Il est plus sage de dire avec Fabricius que ce roman
ne fut connu dès les temps les plus reculés que sous sa forme
latine : ante mille annos exstat latine. Quant à la conjecture
de J. de Gaspard Barthius qui attribuent la pre-
Meursius et
mière traduction au poëte Symposius, elle n'est rien moins
que certaine. Il ne suffirait pas pour l'appuyer de la ressem-
blance de quelques énigmes qui, du roman, auraient passé
dans un autre ouvrage du traducteur ; cette partie de l'histoire
merveilleuse d'Apollonius était celle, où les chanteurs de tous
les pays ont dû se donner plus de liberté afin de diversifier
davantage le sujet et l'accommoder au goût des auditeurs.
On peut voir dans Fabricius la liste complète de ces dif-
férentes versions ; Ducange dans son glossaire de la langue
grecque donne la liste des versions manuscrites. De tous ces
écrits y en a deux surtout qui nous intéressent, ce sont
il

deux traductions en grec moderne et en vers politiques.

une langue et une versification toute difierente de celle de

tournures et des mots italiens qui s'y rencontrent peuvent
autoriser la critique à repousser d'entre les Grecs Gabriel

essayaient, par des travaux hâtifs faits en
apprenaient par l'usage, de s'attirer une reputation qu'ils ne

Ce poëme que Ducange cite plusieurs fois dans son glos-

saire de la langue grecque est le manuscrit contenu dans
grec de la Bibliothèque Impériale de Paris coté sous le N"•
390. C'est un volume grand in 18 de 173 feuilles. Il est

en papier, dans un assez bon état de conservation malgré

toutes les apparences et parfois les inconvénients de la
vétusté ; il ne porte aucune indication de date. Les auteurs
du catalogue ancien l'assignent au xv® siècle " Codex :

decimo quinto sœculo exaratus videtur." Il porte sur le dos

ce titre fort inexact fragmenta de liturgia. L'indication

des morceaux qu'il renferme est la suivante :
" Codex Char-

taceus, olim Colbertinusquo continentur 1° Fragmentum :

Cette table des matières est incomplète et inexacte. Le

droitement par le relieur appartiennent à la fin du livre, et
nous donnent, sans l'achever, la continuation d'une Apoca-
lypse de la Yierge, dont nous parlerons plus tard. Le second
morceau dont le début manque est bien loin d'avoir aucun
rapport avec la liturgie : c'est l'explication de dix-sept signes

Le poëme d'Apollonius va du folio 149 au folio 174 dont il

occupe les quatres premières lignes du Verso. Les vers se

suivent écrits comme de la prose, un point les sépare les uns

des autres ; l'écriture change deux ou trois fois de main ; les

abréviations y sont fréquentes, difficiles et arbitraires. Le

copiste ne paraît pas avoir eu une bien profonde connaissance
de la langue grecque, il écrit comme il entend prononcer;
l'orthographe y est partout fautive et l'on peut se rendre
compte de l'état primitif de ce texte, par les corrections de
M. Wagner et par quelques unes de celles que j'ai faites en
transcrivant le manuscrit. Des omissions y ont quelque-
fois le vers trop court, des additions inutiles le rendent
d'autres fois trop long, enfin rien ne manque à ce manuscrit
de toutes les difficultés qui exercent la patience aussi bien
que le savoir et la sagacité d'un éditeur.

venir. J'affirme que ce n'est d'après aucune des versions

latine, française, anglaise, espagnole, que je connaisse. Ni
l'édition de Welser, ni celle de M. Lapaume, ni les manu-
scrits latins et français de la Bibliothèque Impériale de Paris,
ni Gower, ni le Roi Pericles qu'on trouve dans les œuvres de
Shakespeare, n'ont servi à notre versificateur romaïque. Il ne
s'est fait l'esclave d'aucun des textes qui couraient alors le

monde. Ce n'est pas qu'il ait rien changé d'essentiel au

fond de l'histoire : ce sont les mêmes faits, les mêmes person-
nages, les mêmes lieux ; mais c'est un autre esprit qui a dirigé
sa plume.
Si le premier romancier qui imagina et raconta les aven-
tures d'Apollonius était chrétien, ce qui est supposable, on ne
s'en douterait pas d'après sa narration. Comme l'évêque de
Thessalonique, il a reporté loin en arrière les événements de
sa fiction. Nous sommes en plein paganisme. Les dieux
de l'olympe ont encore leurs adorateurs et leur culte. On y
parle des fêtes de Neptune, du temple de Diane et rien ne
pourrait faire croire que le christianisme ait paru sur la terre.
L'intention morale ne s'y montre pas d'avantage, l'écrivain
n'a point souci de l'édification des âmes : il raconte les faits
sans les juger, il n'y fait remarquer aucune intervention di-

vine. On n'y voit ni indignation pour l'inceste d'Antiochus,

ni crainte pour la pureté de sa malheureuse fille exposée à la
brutalité du premier venu. On ne peut pas dire que ce soit

là une indifférence coupable ou corruptrice; non. C'est

l'adresse d'un romancier versé dans l'art ingénieux d'éviter
les lieux-communs, qui compte sur l'intelligence de ses

lecteurs et n'a point d'autre scrupule que d'éviter l'ennui.

L'écrivain romaïque est plus préoccupé de la sanctification
des âmes. Il croirait, comme ces poëtes timides dont Boileau
blâmera manquer à sa religion et glisser
les craintes timorées,

dans le paganisme s'il ne changeait du premier coup toute

une partie de la décoration. Dans sa narration il n'y a plus
rien des anciennes erreurs. Antiochus est un prince chrétien,
bien indigne sans doute de porter ce nom. Son abominable
passion pour sa fille lui est inspirée par l'ennemi du genre
humain. Cet amour Satanique est l'œuvre du diable. Dieu

Tarsia est
enfermée dans la maison de débauche, une réflexion toute
religieuse trahit les préoccupations du narrateur : son corps
vient d'échapper à la mort, mais son âme est exposée à périr.
La fête de Neptune a fait place à celle de Pâques. C'est au
nom de la joie universelle que ce jour répand chez les chré-
tiens qu'on invite Apollonius à secouer sa tristesse. C'est un
dimanche que Dionysia s'aperçoit de l'admiration excitée par
la beauté de sa pupille et forme le dessein de la perdre. Ce
nom même de Dionysia jette le poëte dans une pieuse erreur ;

après tout, elle était conséquente au système suivi par lui.

Il ne voit pas la provenance païenne de ce nom propre ; il

n'y a plus rien là qui rappelle Bacchus, c'est au Saint du

Paradis que son imagination le rapporte. Ce n'est pas un
vain songe qui envoie Apollonius à Ephèse où il doit retrouver
sa femme dans un couvent, c'est un ange du ciel qui lui or-
donne d'aller faire un pèlerinage et de visiter les Saints, 07-
/ouç. On ne s'étonnera pas qu'avec cette piété dominante le
poëte grec ait évité de s'étendre sur des détails propres à
blesser les âmes et à faire venir de coupables pensées. Les
traductions latines et françaises que j'ai consultées parlent
avec une sorte de complaisance de l'inceste d'Antiochus, et
les narrateurs n'ont garde d'oublier une goutte de sang
tombée sur le pavé, preuve irrécusable du crime. Rien de
semblable chez notre versificateur ; il énonce le fait avec
pudeur et se hâte de passer outre. Je veux encore faire

observer que dans le récit des voyages du roi il le fait arriver

jusqu'aux limites de l'Italie.^

Telles sont les principales transformations qu'a subies dans

teriores al Siglo XV.), qu'on attribue à la première moitié du xiii^ siècle ce sont

les mains du poëte grec le vieux fonds latin tant de fois

remanié. Quant à l'époque presumable où ce poëme fut
écrit, on ne peut rien dire de précis. Il est clair seulement,

par l'absence de la rime qu'il ne doit pas être confondu avec

les compositions du quinzième siècle. Le caractère de la
langue doit le faire, à mes yeux, classer vers le xiii" siècle.
On n'y voit aucune trace de l'italianisme si fréquent dès le
XIV ^ siècle dans ces compositions populaires. Il tient le

milieu entre l'époque où la langue fleurit encore avec une

où l'oubli de toutes les régies
correction relative, et celle
amène la décadence. Si j'ai eu quelque raison de placer les
poëmes de Belthandros et de Libystros,^ dans la période qui
s'ouvre à la prise de Constantinople par les Croisés et s'étend
jusqu'à la conquête définitive de la Morée, je crois pouvoir
en faire autant pour les aventures d'Apollonius. Il me semble
que je peux encore invoquer les traits de ressemblance qui le

rapprochent de la version espagnole que Sanchez nous a con-

servée dans ses poésies Castillanes antérieures au xv^ siècle.
C'est le même esprit de piété et de dévotion. L'auteur espagnol
ne perd aucune occasion de moraliser. Le sermon lui vient

l'embarras qu'éprouve le narrateur rendu bien manifeste par l'embarras des vers :

il dit en parlant de la fille d'Antiochus :

5. Muchos fijos de Eeyes la vinieron pedir,

mas non pudo en ella ninguno abenir ;

ovo en este comédie tal cosa ha contir

ques para en concejo verguenza de decir.
6. El pecado que nunca en pas suele seyer,
tanto pudo el malo volver é revolver,
que fizo ha Antiocho en ella entender
tanto que se queria por su amor perder.

C'est dans un couvent d'Ephèse dédié à Diane qu'il retrouve sa femme ; elle y
est abbesse. Voici ce que l'ange lui dit : - s

facilement aux lèvres, et Tarsiana, sa jeune héroïne, parle

avec tant d'éloquence à Lysimaque de son salut qu'il se
laisse sans peine toucher par elle. La femme d'Apollonius
vit dans un couvent de Diane dont elle est l'abbesse ; et
l'ange recommande au roi de Tyr de visiter Farche précieuse
où sont enfermées les reliques des saints. C'est également
un détail de notre poëme grec. Or ce libre (£Apollonio attri-
bué par Castro (Bibliotbeca Espanola, t. ii, p. 504) à la fin
du XII ^ ou bien au commencement du xiii^ est reculé, avec
assez de raison par P. J. Pidal au milieu du xiii® siècle.^

Il est bien à regretter que le manuscrit espagnol ne donne

aucune indication précise sur l'original de la version que le

poète offrait à ses lecteurs ; mais puisque le même volume

renferme la vie d'Alexandre le grand, il ne serait pas trop
hasardé d'affirmer que l'influence des Français s'est fait sentir

sur ce point. Je ne saurais prétendre que les aventures

d'Apollonius aient été révélées au poëte grec par une version
venue de France ; mais je ne serais pas éloigné de le croire.

On sait comment nos poèmes ont traversé

difîérens la mer
méditerranée et se sont répandus à la suite de nos soldats
dans toutes les contrées de l'Orient et de la Grèce. Qui
pourrait nier que le hasard ait apporté ce poème comme
beaucoup d'autres en des lieux où notre versificateur l'aura
connu ? Peut-être n'est-ce pas là une simple hypothèse. A
la fin du manuscrit latin de la Bibliothèque Impériale N°•

2803, qui contient l'histoire du prince de Tyr, j'ai découvert

sur la garde, l'indication qui suit iste liber Apollonii est :

The renewed collation of the printed text mth the MS. at Paris, which

the critical reader of the curioiis poem on Apollonius which we have published
for the first time. Our '

are, however, confined to the first part of the

The writing of the MS. of this poem is exceedingly diffi-

The three poems which are here published under the name
of Emmanuel Georgillas are :

(1) the poem on Belisarius ;

(2) a lamentation (<;) on the capture of Constantinople ;

(3) the poem on the Pest of Rhodes, 1498.

Of these only the third is here published the first time ; but
all three are contained in the MS. 2909 in the Imperial
Library at Paris, where the oc-
cupies fol. 41-68, the '8 69-90, and the
91-115.

1843 (Oxford, Parker ; London, D. Nutt). Only 60 copies
were printed of this edition, and now next
it is to impossible
to obtain one. I copied the whole poem at Dr. Giles's house
at Sutton (Surrey), and beg here to record my sincere thanks
for the hospitality then shown to me, and the kindness with
which Dr. Giles afterwards consented to collate my text with
his edition. Dr. Giles considered the poem as the work of

an anonymous writer, though verse 843 clearly vindicates it

to Georgillas, if indeed we are right in accepting these con-

eluding lines as genuine, on which point more will be said

anon. But Dr. Giles was no doubt influenced in his opinion
as to the authorship of the poem by Ducange's statement in
his "

This statement is also repeated and in its whole bearing

summed up by M. Gidel in his " E^tude sur la Littérature
Grecque Moderne," p. 367 :

Géorgillas a composé trois poèmes à trois époques différentes de sa vie. A

vingt ans, à peu près, suivant Coraï, il écrivit son Bélisaire. Ce premier ouvrage
n'offre aucune trace de la rime. La Lamentation sur la prise de Constantinople
offre des passages où la rime apparaît. Il n'y a là que des tentatives irrégulières,
le premier essai d'un jeu nouveau. Son poëme sur la Peste de Rhodes en 1498 est
rimé ; de 1453 à 1498, la rime est devenue une nécessité pour la poésie.

But leaving at present the question of the authorship of

the poem on Belisarius and of the in its unsettled
condition, it should be observed that Dr. Giles was under the
erroneous impression that his edition of the "Belisarius"
was the princeps. It is true, the first edition seems to be so
scarce and almost unknown that it could easily escape the

$
attention of any scholar. I transcribe its title from Papado-

scriptorum bibliothecœ rcgiae (Paris, 1740), vol. 2, p. 568.

M. Gidel, Eftude, etc., ,
257, says of this poem that it is
" très-connu dans la Grèce et nouvellement imprimé," but
whether this means that the poem has been recently reprinted
in Greece, or should be understood as an allusion to Dr.
Giles's edition, I do not venture to decide. At all events, I
know nothing of any recent editions.
Besides the MS. at Paris, the poem is also found in the
MS. 297 of the Imperial Library at Yienna, the same MS.
which contains the poem on Florios and Platziaflora, and
where it fills fol. 223^-245«. Lambecius (to whom Ducange
refers) describes it as follows

the Yienna MS. differs from the one published by us. It is
much to be regretted that it was impossible to obtain a col-

which may, perhaps, be found useful in settling this question.

but with a distinct political tendency : witness especially the

From, the part attributed in this poem to persons bearing the
names of well-known Greek families, names afterwards occur-
ring in the accounts of the capture of Constantinople (espe-
cially verses 445-450), it seems very probable that the author
went so far as to point his moral at men playing important
parts in the last days of the Byzantine Empire.

bosom of the Roman Catholic Church and expected the resto-
ration of Greek nationality from the hands of the Pope. This
is quite certain from the respectful manner in which the Pope

and his Cardinals are spoken of in both these poems, though

Koraës tries to disguise this fact as much as possible.

reasons
per-
:

I Georgillas is the author, is to my mind quite evident from

the numerous coincidences which exist between this poem
and his other productions.

(8) It might enter the mind of a very incredulous critic to

doubt the authenticity of the conclusion of the poem on Be-

lisarius, verse 842 sqq., or even 812 sqq. But supposing
I these lines to have been added by another hand than the
poet's, we are driven to the assumption that the poem, such
as we have it, is without a suitable conclusion. It is, more-
over, extremely improbable that the whole passage com-
mencing verse 813 is spurious, as the connexion between it
and the preceding lines is quite natural and easy. Nor would
it be advisable to let the poem break off at verse 842, as there
again the intimate connexion between the two parts renders
such an attempt very unlikely and awkward.
observed that the two lines have in the
first

exactly the same wording as in the

These are some of the reasons which have induced me in
this question to side with Koraës against EUissen. But I
feel obliged to add that there seems to me to be such great
similarity in the diction and style of these three poems that
they might well at once be recognized as the productions of
one and the same author ; but it seems unnecessary to pursue
this point here in detail, as careful readers may here well be
left to their own resources in tracing and developing a hint
which it suffices to give here in a general form.
