Antoni Grabowski
Liudprand of Cremona is among the most famous early medieval chroniclers. He learned Greek during his first stay in Constantinople late 940s and used it extensively various written works, particular longest text: Antapodosis. Recently Paolo Chiesa pointed to possibility that manuscript Clm 6388 from Bayerische Staatsbibliothek contains a copy Antapodosis corrected by himself, wherein he wrote all words marginal inter-linear space note transcription translations. This makes an important source for studying Liudprand’s use interlinear space. Moreover, vital read text together with marginalia, as these elements combined show work convey larger, imperial scale concepts.
