Résumé :

Abstract: The article presents new data on the history of seven manuscripts from the collection of the Russian Archaeological Institute in Constantinople, received in 1931 by the Library of the Academy of Sciences: RAIK 42, 51, 77, 113, 116, 125, 164. On the basis of Greek sources and the identification of the library’s seal, it is concluded that these manuscripts belonged to the “Ephoria of the schools of Larissa” in 1872 and were subsequently acquired by RAIK members or their unknown intermediaries. The seals found in RAIK 51 and 113 are previously unknown evidence of their existence in Larissa after the destruction of the library of the Holy Trinity (or St. Dionysius) monastery on Mount Olympus.
