This volume aims to encourage dialogue and collaboration between
international scholars by presenting new literary and historical
interpretations of the sixth-century writer Procopius of Caesarea,
the major historian of Justinian's reign. Although scholarship on
Procopius has flourished since 2004, when the last monograph in
English on Procopius was published, there has not been a collection
of essays on the subject since 2000. Work on Procopius since 2004
has been surveyed by Geoffrey Greatrex in his international
bibliography; Peter Sarris has revised the 1966 Penguin Classics
translation of, and introduced, Procopius' Secret History (2007);
and Anthony Kaldellis has edited, translated and introduced
Procopius' Secret History, with related texts (2010), and revised
and modernised H.B. Dewing's Loeb translation of Procopius' Wars as
The Wars of Justinian in 2014. This volume capitalises on the
renaissance in Procopius-related studies by showcasing recent work
on Procopius in all its diversity and vibrancy. It offers
approaches that shed new light on Procopius' texts by comparing
them with a variety of relevant textual sources. In particular, the
volume pays close attention to the text and examines what it
achieves as a literary work and what it says as an historical
product.
