Anotace knihy

The Early Byzantine Historians is the first analytic study of every significant Byzantine historian from Eusebius of Caesarea (c.255-339) to Theophylact Simocatta (c.585-after 641?). Written for general readers as well as professional scholars, and filled with new interpretations and discoveries, the book presents a remarkable portrait gallery of forty historians who were gifted writers, incisive thinkers, engaging personalities, or all three at once. They include often neglected key figures like Eunapius of Sardis, Priscus of Panium, Philostorgius, and Hesychius of Miletus; Eustathius of Epiphania, whose universal history largely survives in plagiarizations by John Malalas and John of Antioch and preserves previously overlooked parts of earlier lost histories; and Procopius of Caesarea and Ammianus Marcellinus, two of the greatest historians of all time. Individually and as a group, these historians provide many insights into early Byzantine society and intellectual life and had a decisive influence on Byzantine culture and modern perceptions of Byzantine history.
