• Resumen

  • The article discusses a previously unpublished short poem, written in hexameter, about the capture of Constantinople in 1204. This poem appears to be the only literary work solely dedicated to this event, while other sources incorporate it into a broader narrative. It is preserved in two manuscripts (Vindobonensis Theologicus Graecus 304 and Athous Dionysiou 280), although neither manuscript contains the complete text. The author of the poem might be Nicephorus Blemmydes. The article provides an overview of the manuscript tradition, a critical edition of the text, a German translation, and a commentary on both the content of the poem and relevant philological issues.
