| Comment | See Turyn (1980: 45-46): <this poem celebrates> the arrival in Trebizond of the Emperor Basil Comnenus and the Empress Irene. Obviously Basil I Comnenus (who ruled from 22 September 1332 to 6 April 1340) and his wife Irene Palaeologina are meant. The poem was composed after their wedding, which took place on 17 September 1335, when both of them arrived in Trebizond. I cannot say whether the person who wrote the poem was its author. Paleographically, this would be possible, since the script fits the period around A.D. 1335. However, some slips in the last line of the poem suggest that it was copied by somebody else.' |
