Abstract
Multilayered authorship can be found in the Excerpta Historica Constantiniana (EC), a Byzantine collection from the tenth century. The contribution focuses on the tension between the EC primary sources and the EC context as such, exploring the conceptual tool of Distributed Authorship and engaging both with the sender/receiver functions and with the power relations between the emperor and the excerptor(es). The EC Prooemium draws on the New Testament, namely, on the epistle to the Ephesians, which in turn sheds light on Constantine VII’s cultural, political and religious agenda. Negli Excerpta Historica Constantiniana (EC), silloge bizantina del X secolo, si può ravvisare una autorialità a più livelli (multilayered authorship). L’articolo lumeggia la tensione tra le fonti primarie e il contesto degli EC in quanto tali, esplorando lo strumento concettuale della Distributed Authorship, esaminando le funzioni di mittente/destinatario e il rapporto di potere tra l’imperatore e l’excerptor (o meglio gli excerptores). Il Proemio degli EC evidenzia una ripresa esplicita dal Nuovo Testamento, in particolare dall’epistola agli Efesini, che a sua volta getta luce sul programma culturale, politico e religioso di Costantino VII.
