“This minion of Coluthus, writ in red / Bistre and azure by Bessarion's scribe”

Fuller, Margaret. Papers on Literature and Art. New York: Wiley and Putnam, 1846.

Inferred Named explicitly as 'this minion of Coluthus' — refers to Colluthus's The Rape of Helen. Jules describes his treasured manuscript copy of Coluthus, 'writ in red bistre and azure by Bessarion's scribe' — referring to a Byzantine illuminated manuscript in the collection associated with Cardinal Bessarion (1403–1472), famous collector of Greek manuscripts.
