The Middle Byzantine Historians, which continues the same author's
Early Byzantine Historians, is the first book to analyze the lives
and works of every significant Byzantine historian from the seventh
to the thirteenth century. Written for general readers as well as
professional scholars, it describes forty-three historians who
usually knew their emperors personally. Besides obscure but
intriguing figures like the exiled Sergius Confessor, father of the
Patriarch Photius, and the embittered monk Nicetas the
Paphlagonian, author of a Secret History that denounced Photius,
the historians include the authors of three of the world's greatest
histories: the courtier Michael Psellus, who depicts the flawed
personalities of the fourteen emperors and empresses of his time,
Princess Anna Comnena, who makes a spirited defense of her father
Alexius I, and Nicetas Choniates, a provincial who rose to head the
whole Byzantine bureaucracy and told the story of his empire's
decline from great power to destruction by the Fourth Crusade.
