Abstract

This brief contribution aims at exposing in a succint way the procedures used by scribes from Southern Italy to distinguish the different constituent parts of the Byzantine euchologion: prayers, rubrics, diaconal interventions. The analysis starts from the most ancient manuscript, the Barberini Euchologion (8th century), the only manuscript we preserve written in capital let-ters. Hereafter we describe the changes introduced by the advent of the minuscule handwriting in the book layout from the 10th-12th centuries.
