About this book
Michael Psellos, adviser and scholar at the Byzantine imperial court, portrays the history of Byzantium, primarily that of the eleventh century, and focuses on characterizing the ruling emperors and empresses. Doukas, on the other hand, addresses events that took place from the late phase of the Byzantine Empire until the conquest of Constantinople in 1453.

Author / Editor information
Topics
The historical work by Dukas (c. 1400 – after 1462) has been newly edited in this volume based on the codex unicus of the Greek text and the old Italian translation, supplemented with explanatory commentary and, for the first time, translated into German. Dukas was at once a participant and observer of many of the events he describes in the Aegean region and Western Asia Minor that culminated in the sack of Constantinople on 29 May 1453.
This masterpiece of Byzantine literature is now available for the first time in a German translation. The Greek text is based on a new critical edition appearing in the Millennium Studies series. The imperial counselor, polymath, and writer Michael Psellos (1018-ca. 1076) portrays the rulers of Byzantium from Basil II to Michael VII, and, along the way, provides an extensive account of his own role and life.
