This annotated critical edition presents the epigrams of the Byzantine scholar Maximus Planudes. Due to the absence of a critical edition of almost all Maximus Planudes’ epigrams as well as of a methodical commentary or a systematic review of their thematic, lexical, stylistic and metrical features, this study aims to elucidate the least recognised facet of the literary work of one of the most important scholar of the Palaiologan Renaissance.

L''étude contient l''édition critique ainsi que le commentaire methodique des épigrammes du moine érudit de la renaissance paléologue, Maxime Planude.

"Ilias Taxidis makes available the thirty-six epigrams penned by Planoudes within a period of about twenty years for the first time in a single corpus. This is the only modern edition of any of the epigrams that takes into consideration all the manuscripts. [...] Taxidis’ book is a precious contribution to the booming field of Byzantine poetry and highlights a little-known source for the cultural history of later Byzantium."
