About this book

The author, well-known as an outstanding Byzantine canonist, was Archbishop of Ohrid (approx. 1216–1236) and practically assumed the position of a Patriarch. The Corpus of the Pone-mata diaphora (personal and official letters, expert testimonies and verdicts and proceedings of the Ohrid Synodal Court) is his major work. It pro--vides complex source material of major importance in two ways: historically because of the detailed information on the political and ecclesiastical history of South-Eastern Europe at the time of radical change around 1204; legally because texts (let alone corpora) dealing with the practice of ecclesiastical jurisdiction in Byzantium are few and far between.

This new edition replaces the older, non-critical, edition by Cardinal Pitras from 1891.

Reviews

"Die Ausgabe [...], die Günter Prinzing in einer mustergültigen Edition samt Kommentar erschlossen hat, stellt der Wissenschaft eine zentrale Quelle des Hochmittelalters zur Verfügung. [...] Wieder einmal hat der Verlag ein schönes und handwerklich exzellentes Werk gedruckt, so dass Mediävisten die Lebensarbeit des Herausgebers auch noch in einem Jahrhundert gerne als Grundlagenwerk benutzen werden."
Christoph Auffarth in: Theologische Literaturzeitung 9/2005

"G. Prinzing hat die Byzantinistik und die südosteuropäische Geschichte um ein opus magnum bereichert."
Oliver Jens Schmitt in: Byzantinooslavica LXII/2005

"All scholars will be thankful for this edition, which can only be termed a labor of love."
Marios Philippides in: Speculum 1/2005

"The world of Constantinople and its provinces is revealed here as in no other source. All future students of Byzantine life will be indebted to Dr Prinzing for his outstanding work, and the wider it is known, the more obvious will our debt become."
Joseph A. Munitiz in: Südost-Forschungen 61/62 2002/2003
