Greek Manuscripts	18.20 Menaion for March 14th c. Koutloumousiou Monastery, Cod. 324 Paper, 28/30 x 20/21 cm, ff. 171
	Scribe. The anonymous scribe of the Serbian queen Elisabeth, widow of Stefan Dusan; in the period 1347-1371 this scribe worked in the milieu of the Koutloumousiou Monastery, evidently in one of its kellia or metochia. Vogel and Gardthausen (see bibliography) were mistaken in regarding the Sophronios who commissioned the writing of Dionysiou Cod. 311 as the writer of that codex, and in identifying the anonymous scribe here with that Sophronios. Politis's identification of Elisabeth's scribe with the writer of Xeropotamou Cod. 234 also seems dubious. Other known manuscripts by the same scribe: Dionysiou Cod. 311, Koutloumousiou Cod. 324, Athens EBE 2035, 2049, 2422. Script. Similar to the Hodegon style.
