Résumé :
Abstract: The subject of this contribution is the manuscript Città del Vaticano, Biblioteca apostolica vaticana, Pal. gr. 334, witness of the Orthodoxae Fidei Expositio by John Damascenus, fully written by Demetrius Zenus (Zakynthos, ca. 1503/1504 - Venezia, 1540?), and used as Druckvorlage for the corresponding printed edition of 1531, published by the
Nicolini da Sabbio in Verona. The goal is twofold: 1) contextualising the edition published
by Bernardinus Donatus and Demetrius Zenus in the context of the cultural project
promoted in Verona by bishop Matteo Giberti; 2) carrying out a palaeographic analysis on Pal. gr. 334, with particular attention to its marginalia and to the typographical indications used to prepare the printed edition.
