The patriarch Tarasios holds a key position in the ending of the
first period of Iconoclasm in Byzantium, with the seventh
Oecumenical Council at Nicaea in 787. His Life forms an equally key
source for the history and culture of the Byzantine world in the
eighth and ninth centuries. This book provides a full introduction,
a critical edition with English translation, and a detailed
commentary and indexes for this important document. The
introduction first places the text within the framework of other
patriarchal biographies composed in the period c.850-950. Dr
Efthymiadis then looks at Tarasios himself, as layman, patriarch,
and saint, and provides a biographical sketch of the author of the
Life, Ignatios the Deacon, together with a discussion of the date
and reasons for the work's composition. In addition, this new text
and translation makes more accessible a highly sophisticated
example of Byzantine prose.
