John Zonaras' Epitome of Histories

A Compendium of Jewish-Roman History and Its Reception

Beschreibung

This book analyses Zonaras' twelfth-century chronicle as both a literary composition and a historical account, concentrating on its composition, sources, and political, ideological, and literary background. Kampianaki aims to present it as a work which seamlessly merges the traditions of chronicle writing and classicizing historiography.
