Diodorus Siculus—Cospus 1516 Cospus translated and published the biography of Alexander the Great from the Zonaras corvina that belonged to Cuspinianus at the time, and included it as the appendix.'” Without reciting the entire Zonaras’s philological literature, I wish to mention just a few examples of how the reputation of the Corvina was spread through the editions of Alexander the Great’s biography published by Ioannes Zonaras (Johannes Monachus, 10742-1159). In the 1516 edition the translator, Angelo Bartolomero Cospo (1430-1516) does not mention that the codex which preserved the Greek history would have been a corvina, and neither does he mention it in his dedication to Emperor Maximilain I (1508-1519) (this introduces the text of Diodorus Siculus), nor in the dedication to Jacobus Bannissus’s imperial privy councillor predating the Zonarass translation." In the first preface he only 22 Zonaras [=Johannes Monachus], A/exandri regis vita, in Dioporus Sicutus—Cospus 1516. The codex: ONB Hist.
