MANUEL  , Byzantine commentator and grammarian, lived during the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century . His chief work is 'Epuwri7para ypaµµaTlKa, in the form of question and answer, based upon an anonymous epitome of grammar, and supplemented by a lexicon (ovXXoyi)) of Attic nouns . He was also the author of scholia on the first and second books of the Iliad, on Hesiod, Theocritus, Pindar and other classical and later authors; of riddles, letters, and a treatise on the magic squares . His grammatical treatises formed the foundation of the labours of such promoters of classical studies as Manuel Chrysoloras, Theodorus Gaza, Guarini, and Constantine Lascaris . A selection from his works under the title of Manuelis Moschopuli opuscula grammatica was published by F . N . Titze (Leipzig, 1822) ; see also C .
