In MS Matr. 4635, a grammatical miscellany written in the hand of Constantine Lascaris, the Byzantine scholar compiles a small poetic anthology containing the Sibylline Greek quotations drawn from the Divinae Institutiones of Lactantius, along with the Sibylline christological acrostic cited in the Oratio ad sanctorum coetum of Eusebius. The essay analyzes the anthology and its connections with the humanistic restoration of the Greek texts of Lactantius, and frames this episode within the cultural biography of Lascaris, highlighting his profile as a teacher and philologist.
