Palaiologan manuscripts

Palaiologan manuscripts refer to a collection of texts produced during the late Byzantine Empire, specifically from the 13th to the 15th centuries, under the Palaiologos dynasty. These manuscripts encompass religious, historical, and literary works, showcasing the rich culture and scholarship of the time. They are known for their exquisite illustrations and calligraphy, reflecting Byzantine art's sophistication. Many of these texts are significant for understanding Byzantine history, philosophy, and theology, as they were created during a period of both artistic flourishing and political turmoil, ultimately leading to the fall of Constantinople in 1453.
