Although excellent English translations of some of Palamas' theological writings are available, very few texts relating to his historical role have yet been translated This book contains the first English translation of the contemporary 'Lite' of Palamas by Philotheos Kokkinos, which is our principal source of biographical information on him. Also translated into English for the first time are the Synodal 'Tomoi' from 1341 to 1368, which chart the progress of the Hesychast controversy from the viewpoint of the victors, together with the corpus of material relating to Palamas' year of captivity among the Turks, which offers a unique insight into conditions for Christians and Muslims in the early Ottoman emirate The translations, all of which are based on critical texts, are preceded by introductions that set Palamas in his historical context and propose some changes to the conventional chronology of his lite." -- ER -
