    The flight from Rome of Formoso, bishop of Porto, on Easter night 876 and his subsequent conviction in the Roman synods are echoed in the dedication of the last two John the Deacon’s works, Vita Gregorii I papae and the rhythmic rewriting of the Cena Cypriani. The contribution reconstructs John Immonide’s figure, his role and his friendships within the cubiculum Lateranense, and analyzes the critical loci of the manuscript tradition of the dedication poem to Pope John VIII, prefacing the hagiographical text, and of the so called Epilogus and Suppositio closing the Cena. The sections analyzed show a tradition variously attested and not univocal, that is evidence of reworking and leads to suspect that the author has reviewed the dedications of his works when he was expelled from the Lateran, falled into disgrace with the pope, and he never reached a final version of them

    The paper traces the misunderstandings of the commentary on the first book of Regum attributed to Gregory the Great. The history of the editions is analyzed till the discovery of the only manuscript known of the work, Cava dei Tirreni, Biblioteca dell'Abbazia 9. The criteria of the last edition by Patrick Verbraken are discussed as he uncritically favored the manuscript on the constitutio textus. The problem of the authorship of the work is investigated: although recent studies date the commentary to the twelfth century and ascribe it to Peter of Venosa on the basis of the Chronicon Venusinum, it is possible that the author used texts authentically gregorian

    The paper tests the hypothesis that Ireland, as peripheral zone, was a land of conservation of classical and late antique manuscript tradition and, furthermore, that from Ireland the classic cultural heritage was reimported on the continent. The philological study on the manuscript tradition and on the sources of five of the most important Irish mediaeval commentaries - the Egloga de Moralibus by Lathcen (Wendepunkte 5), the Liber de ortu et obitu patriarcharum, l'Expositio Evangelii secundum Marcum (Wendepunkte 27), the Interpretatio mystica et moralis progenitorum domini Iesu Christi (Wendepunkte 25) and the De mirabilibus sacrae Scripturae (Wendepunkte 38) - shows that these works, appear originally as schematic and the manuscript transmission has unmistakable traces of interpolation made in continental scriptoria. The identification of recensiones, progressively longiores, allows to appreciate the stages through which the Irish scriptoria knew and used the ancient Latin and Patristic literature
