This three-volume edition of the History by Nicephorus Gregoras (c.
1295-1360) was edited by Ludwig Schopen (Volumes 1 and 2, 1829-30)
and Immanuel Bekker (Volume 3, 1855). The astronomer and historian,
Gregpras, became the archivist of the Byzantine Emperor Andronikos
II Palaiologos (to whom he proposed a calendar reform similar to
that adopted by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582), and was involved in the
fruitless negotiations of 1333 to unite the Greek and Latin
Churches. The thirty-seven books of Gregoras' History overlap with
the work by George Pachymeres, and continue the narrative to 1359.
This period is also covered in the History by the ex-Emperor John
Cantacuzene, and both these authors are also reissued in this
series. The Latin introduction to Volume 1 includes a life and
bibliography of Gregoras, and the Greek text (with Latin
translation) begins with the capture of Constantinople by the
Franks in 1204.
