Biblioteca Apostolica, Vatican, Vat. gr. 752
The Psalter Vat. gr. 752 dated to the years 1058/59 occupies a special place among the illustrated Psalters of the middle Byzantine period because of its rich pictorial program.1
1 The patron, scribes, and artists of the codex are unknown. The manuscript has been attributed by De Wald to the Stoudios Monastery as a commission for the emperor Constantine IX Monomachos (1042-1055) (ibid., pp. ix-xiii), but was later connected with the emperor Isaak Komnenos (1057-1059); KALAVREZOU – TRAHOULIA – SABAR, Critique of the Emperor. Francesco D’Aiuto is more doubtful and argued for a provincial provenance in his communication at the Ars Edendi workshop, Rome, 7-10 June, 2012: cf. now his nuanced position expressed by the paper in this volume.
