A Tale of Two Iliads: Oxford New College 298 and Trinity College Dublin 922

Issue number
(2023): 20

Of all the ancient texts that have shaped history, the Iliad is among the most widely read, copied, and studied. Whilst the broad impact of the Iliad across macroscopic physical and temporal spaces is well-documented, the propagation of the texts themselves may offer cultural and historical insights on a more microscopic scale, where individual scholars can be found leaving their mark on history and our understanding of Homeric work. This is a tale of two Iliads, Trinity College Dublin MS 922 and Oxford New College MS 298.
