Résumé :

The Byzantine imperial chancery of the Palaiologos dynasty issued its peace treaties with Venice as bilingual documents, written in Greek and Latin. Due to changes of the text structure, the scribe responsible for the Greek (and Latin) text was named in the corroboratio. Some scribes are also known to have copied manuscripts. This study presents all notaries of treaties with Venice whose autographs have been preserved, analyses their characteristics and compares their writing with other contemporary originals from the imperial chancery.
