This three-volume work of Byzantine history by the ex-Emperor John
VI Cantacuzene was edited, together with a Latin translation by the
Jesuit scholar, Pontanus (1542 1626), by Ludwig Schopen (1799
1867), and published between 1828 and 1832. It covers part of the
same period as the works by George Pachymeres and Nicephorus
Gregoras (also reissued in this series) and the three accounts can
usefully be compared. John Cantacuzene (c. 1292 1383) was unusual
among Byzantine emperors in that he appears to have been reluctant
to take the throne, and also in that, having been deposed in 1354,
he was allowed to retire to a monastery, where he wrote this
account of his times. The historian Edward Gibbon, among others,
noted the self-justificatory tone of his memoir. Volume 3 takes the
narrative from John's accession to his deposition, and the defeat
of his son Matthew by John V in 1357.
