Abstract
From the year 1265 on, the Palaiologan scholars-teachers Manuel/Maximos Holobolos (1243-1310/14) and John Pothos Pediasimos (ca. 1240-1310/14) devoted commentaries to the rediscovered Hellenistic pattern-poem Syrinx, attributed to Theocritus. This chapter explores their work on this text, focussing on their adaptation and rewriting of sources, and studies the scholarly context of the commentaries. Moreover, this contribution delves deeper into the influence of Holobolos' scholia on Pediasimos' commentary to the Syrinx.
