Niceforo Urano (Tact. 119) metafrasta di Siriano Magistro. Edizione sinottica e traduzione delle norme per la guerra navale

In the Taktika of Nikephoros Ouranos, a vast compilation of classical and Byzantine writings which stands as the last military treatise in Tenth-Century Byzantium, the chapter 119 on naval war is a medium-level style metaphrasis of a selection of precepts drawn from the Naumachiai of Syrianus Magister. The paper offers a new edition, with an introduction and the Italian translation, of both texts, printed here setting a series of specific typographic conventions allowing to signal the lexical, morphological and syntactical changes applied by Nikephoros Ouranos in his re-elaboration process.
