Abstract: The objects of the study, presented in this paper, are the manuscripts of the exhibition "The Brilliance of Byzantium", or “Greek Illuminated Manuscripts from the Balkans VI–XVIII C.”, at which were shown 121 not very well known Greek manuscripts from 13 warehouses in the Balkans. The purpose of this study is to construct a quantitative "chronological model" of the information about the Greek illuminated manuscripts from the Balkans VI–XVIII C. This model provides a basis for the conclusion that most likely the dating of a considerable amount of these manuscripts is wrong, i.e. that, apparently, many of the extant Greek illuminated manuscripts from the XV and XVI centuries are incorrectly dated and attributed to earlier epochs.
