An accurate study of the contents and structure of the epigrammatic collection written by Constantine Lascaris in ms. Matrit. BN 4562 (olim N-24), ff. 101–136 leads to fairly certain conclusions about its sources and its cultural value. Although its textual contribution is limited, the principles that guided its composition are very interesting for the history of epigrammatic anthologies. The special attention devoted by Lascaris to specific themes is linked to the cultural context in which the Byzantine scholar lived and worked during his stay in Italy.
