Theophanes the Confessor (d.818) was a Byzantine abbot who fell victim to the Iconoclastic persecution. The Chronicle that goes under his name, written in Greek, is here translated in full for the first time, together with an introduction and commentary. It provides a unique source for the history of the Byzantine Empire to AD 813, as well as the history of the Persians, Arabs, Bulgarians, and other neighboring peoples. "The editors provide expert guidance through all the intricate problems. Every library of medieval studies...should own this definitive translation with its astute and learned commentary, glossary, and helpful indexes."-- Religious Studies Review Cyril Mango is Emeritus Professor of Byzantine and Modern Green Language and Literature, Oxford.
