LA - eng PP - Harmondsworth PB - Penguin Books YR - 1966 UL - https://kansalliskirjasto.finna.fi/Record/fikka.1236184 AB - Fourteen Byzantine rulers is a translation of the Chronographia, which forms the principal source of the history of the Eastern Empire during the period (A.D. 976 - 1078) when Byzantium declined from a military power to an effete bureaucracy. The Christian scholar, Michael Psellus, who was adviser, friend and tutor to successive emperors, used his first-hand acquaintance with the politics of the imperial court to write a memoir of his own times. A keen student of Plato and the Greeks, he turned his account into a work of art which vividly illustrates the Byzantine way of life. NO - Lisäpainokset: Repr. 1979, 1983,1984, 1987.
