Psellos in 1078
Published/Copyright:
July 23, 2014
Abstract
The much-discussed question of the date of the death of Michael Psellos was solved by Eva de Vries-Van der Velden nearly twenty years ago: he died in spring, 1078, or soon after. But her solution has not been accepted. This paper restates her arguments more firmly and adds several more, particularly on the basis of Psellos’ letters, from which many other details of historical importance remain to be discovered. The paper gives an idea of the careful argumentation needed to use such evidence. It ends with an unhappy picture of Psellos’ psychological state shortly before his death.
