Few Byzantine emperors had a life as rich and as turbulent as
Manuel II Palaiologos. A fascinating figure at the crossroads of
Byzantine, Western European and Ottoman history, he endured
political turmoil, witnessed no less than three sieges by the
Ottomans and travelled as far as France and England. He was a
prolific writer, producing a vast corpus of literary, theological
and philosophical works. Yet, despite his talent, Manuel has
largely been ignored as an author. This biography constructs an
in-depth picture of him of as a ruler, author and personality, as
well as providing insight into his world and times. It offers the
first analysis of the emperor's complete oeuvre, focusing on his
literary style, self-representation philosophical/theological
thought. By focusing not only on political events, but also on the
personality, personal life and literary output of Manuel, this
biography paints a new portrait of a multifaceted emperor.
