Una testimonianza sulle προλαλιαί di Procopio e Coricio di Gaza nel Περὶ λογογραφίας
No full textThe author of the Byzantine rhetorical treatise usually called περὶ λογο-
γραφίας (identified by some as Gregory Pardos, metropolite of Corinth), when discussing
of the encomia , quotes Procopius and Choricius of Gaza as witnesses for the
ancient usage of composing προᾴσματα separated from the very orations. By this
term he certainly means the διαλέξεις , or introductory talks, which were still recognizable
as such in Choricius’ (and possibly in Procopius’) medieval corpora . In the
author’s eyes, it was these διαλέξεις that gave rise to the contemporary mode of initiating
encomia with narrative proems containing stories and myths. This section
of the περὶ λογογραφίας should probably be dated to the end of the 12th century,
when such proems were especially common among rhetors
Echi del romanzo e di Procopio di Gaza in Filagato Cerameo
No full textThe real extension of Philagathus Cerameus' classical culture has been variously discussed. The homilies of this 12th century preacher from Southern Italy show a thorough knowledge of Heliodorus' Aethiopics (which, by the way, corroborates his identification with the author of the Commentatio in Charicleam). In hom. 24 Rossi Taibbi, on the other side, Philagathus appears to be drawing on Procopius of Gaza's Monody on Antioch, as is suggested by some fragments preserved in the lexicon περι συντάξεως. This confirms that he was especially acquainted with those ancient authors who were proposed as models in the rhetorical schools of the Comnenian age

La nuova dialexis di Procopio di Gaza: un commento
No full textA detailed commentary of the dialexis contained in the MS. Lair. pl. 60,6 shows that this brief text can confidently be ascribed to Procopius of Gaza. Moreover, the couple celebrated in it is probably to be identified with the Meles and the Antonina praised in the new epithalamium by the same Procopius recently discovered by Eugenio Amato; it is even possible that the dialexis was a preliminary speech held immediately before the recitation of the epithalamium
