miracoli, vi ha sbagli madornali di cronologia: seguendo i quali, il P.
Gaetani fe' vivere l'Innografo 170 anni. I Bollandisti ne diffalcarono
un secolo; ma tuttavia non tolsero la contraddizione del biografo che
portava Giuseppe fuggito di Sicilia fanciullo dopo la occupazione
musulmana, la quale cominciò l'827, e fatto già sacerdote ai tempi di
Leone l'Armeno, che morì l'820. La morte di San Giuseppe Innografo è
riferita per conghiettura all'883.
[927] Gaetani, _Vitæ Sanctorum Siculorum_, tomo I, p. 128, seg. e
Bollandisti, _Acta Sanctorum_, 18 giugno, tomo III (di giugno), p. 596,
seg., ove leggonsi pochi frammenti del testo greco. Il Gaetani, seguíto
in ciò dai Bollandisti, riferì la composizione dell'inno all'870.
[928] Schoëll, _Histoire de la Littérature grecque profane_, versione
francese del 1824, tomo IV, p. 48.
[929] Veggasi Cedrenus, edizione di Bonn, tomo I, p. 4 e nota, nel tomo
II, p. 748. Cedreno il chiama ὁ Σικελιώτης, e un altro MS. vi aggiugne
διδάσκαλος. Secondo il luogo che gli assegna Cedreno, costui sarebbe
vivuto verso la fine del X secolo.
[930] Danielis de Nessel, _Catalogus.... Bibl. Vindobonensis_ (1690),
parte I, p. 14, nº X, § 3.
[931] Vossius, _De Historicis Græcis_ (Leyde, 1650), lib. IV, cap. XXI,
p. 499; esattamente citato dal Mongitore, _Bibliotheca Sicula_, p. 313.
[932] _Histoire de la Littérature grecque profane_, versione franc. del
1824, tomo VI, p. 370.
[933] Questo elogio funebre, che porta il nome dell'autore, fu tradotto
in latino sul testo greco del monastero del Salvatore di Messina, e
pubblicato dal Gaetani, _Vitæ Sanctorum Siculorum_, tomo II, p. 52,
seg., e con molte correzioni dai Bollandisti, _Acta Sanctorum_, 31
gennaio.
[934] Petri Siculi _Historia de Manichæis_, versione latina di un MS.
della Vaticana, nella _Maxima Bibliotheca Patrum_, tomo XVI. Veggansi
anco, su le persecuzioni dei Pauliciani, _Theophanes continuatus_, lib.
IV, cap. XVI; e Gibbon, Decline and Fall, cap. LIV.
[935] Nella versione pubblicata dal Gaetani si legge Genicus, e si
spiega “riscuotitore.” E veramente il verbo _gena_ ha significato di
“raccogliere,” e il derivato _genâia_ vale “multa” e “tassa in
generale;” come l'ha notato il Quatremère, _Histoire des Sultans
Mamlouks_, tomo I, p. 199. _Gêni_ significherebbe appunto _collector_.
[936] Gaetani, _Vitæ Sanctorum Siculorum_, tomo II, p. 59.
[937] Il biografo dice che morisse il 904, ottuagenario; il che
significa soltanto che s'avvicinava agli ottanta.
[938] Nella versione latina si legge _fuco et cerussa_. Si sa che questo
è il bianco di piombo; l'altra è espressione vaga. Se nel testo greco si
trovasse, com'è probabile, φῦκος, indicherebbe il rosso cavato da una
specie d'alga.
[939] _Calamistrum._
[940] La leggenda attribuisce l'accusa ai _principali ismaeliti_; dice
che fu portata al califo (_ameramnem_), e che contenea due rubriche, 1º
dispregio del Profeta e dei suoi vaticinii; 2º “predicare una novella
religione, e sostenere il figliuol di Maria coeterno e consustanziale a
non so che Spirito e al padre.” Or questo non mi pare nè linguaggio da
Musulmani, nè invenzione del biografo. Non ostante qualche difficoltà,
che sparirebbe forse se avessimo il testo greco, l'accusa sembra scritta
dai fanatici della Chiesa Copta; e però la persecuzione seguita in
Egitto. Alla stessa conchiusione porterebbe il fatto della liberazione
ordinata dal _governatore della provincia_, non ostante il richiamo al
califo.
[941] Cap. X, p. 411, seg.
[942] Leggasi nella biografia citata presso il Gaetani, tomo II, pag.
67, 68.
[943] Il biografo dice che Sant'Elia venne in Palermo; che, partita
quinci alla volta di Reggio l'armata musulmana, ei ritenne i Reggini i
quali volean fuggire; e poi che da Palermo andò a Taormina. Se non v'ha
qualche confusione nel testo, potrebbe supporsi ch'ei fosse tornato in
Palermo, forse con l'armata bizantina, e di lì ito a Taormina.
[944] Questo fatto è dato come contemporaneo alla sconfitta di Barsamio
presso Taormina che seguì nell'881. Veggasi il Capitolo X, pag. 417.
[945] Così nel testo greco, presso i Bollandisti, agosto, tom. III, p.
508. Nella versione latina si legge _XVI kalendas augusti_, che torna al
17 luglio, e si additerebbe meglio al caso di Tessalonica, seguito pochi
giorni appresso.
[946] Vita anonima di Santo Elia il giovane, tradotta sopra un MS. greco
del monastero del Salvatore di Messina, e pubblicata dal Gaetani, _Vitæ
Sanctorum Siculorum_, tomo II, p. 63, seg., e dai Bollandisti, _Acta
Sanctorum_, 17 agosto, p. 483, seg. Non ho atteso alle note cronologiche
delle due edizioni, trovando guida più certa nelle date della
occupazione del sobborgo di Castrogiovanni e della espugnazione di
Tessalonica. Ho tralasciato la ripetizione di molti miracoli, e il
minuto ragguaglio della traslazione del corpo di Sant'Elia in Calabria.
[947] Questa biografia latina, cavata da MSS. di Palermo, Mazara e
Corleone fu pubblicata dal Gaetani, _Vitæ ec._, tomo II, pag. 80, e dai
Bollandisti, con lo aiuto di un MS. di Roma, _Acta Sanctorum_, 1 marzo,
pag. 27.
[948] Presso Gaetani, Vitæ ec., tomo II, pag. 84, da un MS. della chiesa
palermitana.
[949] Op. cit., tomo II, pag. 86.
