This handy reference guide makes it easier to access and understand
histories written in Greek between 600 and 1480 CE. Covering
classicizing histories that continued ancient Greek traditions of
historiography, sweeping, fast-paced 'chronicle' type histories,
and dozens of idiosyncratic historical texts, it distills the
results of complex, multi-lingual, specialist scholarship into
clear explanations of the basic information needed to approach each
medieval Greek history. It provides a sound basis for further
research on each text by describing what we know about the time of
composition, content covered by the history, authorship, extant
manuscripts, previous editions and translations, and basic
bibliography. Even-handed explanations of scholarly debates give
readers the information they need to assess controversies
independently. A comprehensive introduction orients students and
non-specialists to the traditions and methods of Byzantine
historical writing. It will prove an invaluable timesaver for
Byzantinists and an essential entry point for classicists, western
medievalists, and students.
