Resumen

This article studies the poems of John Geometres, transmitted in the manuscripts Vat. Pal. gr. 367, fols. 140r-140v y 143r-143v (s. XIV in), and Athous 3798 (Dion. 264) fol. 337v (s. XVII), not edited yet. After presenting a critical edition of these poems, I will analyze them in comparison with the other satirical poems of the author. Thus, some features of Geometres's satirical poetry are established: in terms of themes, the preference for attacks on ignorance and barbarization, and the presence of women as a satirical object; in terms of literary devices, the use of polyptoton, paronomasia, chiasmus, repetitions, and, as expected, various forms of hyperboles. Finally, we analyze the possible contexts of several of these poems, which are different forms of performance.
