The “Parangelmata Poliorcetica” and the “Geodesia,” two Greek treatises on the construction of devices for siege warfare, are products of 10th-century Byzantium. The texts are presented here in critical editions based, for the first time, on the archetype manuscript Vaticanus graecus 1605 and accompanied by an English translation and commentary. The illustrations, reproduced in this edition, go beyond the traditional ground plans of the time and show elevations to represent finished devices in action.

"The years before and after the battle of Manzikert (1071) mark a turning point in the history of the Byzantine Empire. The invasions of the Seljuk Turks in the east and the encroachment of the Normans from the west altered the balance of power in the eastern Mediterranean and forced the Byzantines to confront new threats to their survival. These threats came at a time when internal rivalries made an effective military response all but impossible and led to a significant transformation of the Byzantine polity under the Komnenoi. The Continuation of the Chronicle of John Skylitzes, now translated for the first time, provides a contemporary view of these troubled times. An extension of the principal source for the middle Byzantine period, and a subtle reworking of the History of Michael Attaleiates, the Continuation offers a high court official's narrative of the events and personages that shaped the course of Byzantine history on the eve of the Crusades.".

Torstein Theodor Tollefsen explores Theodore's 'philosophy of images', namely his doctrine of images and his arguments that justify the legitimacy of images in general and of Christ in particular. Tollefsen offers a historical, theological, and philosophical exploration of Theodore's doctrine of images and his arguments justifying the legitimacy of images and of Christ.

The work known as Pseudo-Kodinos, the fourteenth-century text which is one of two surviving ceremonial books from the Byzantine empire, is presented here for the first time in English translation. With facing page Greek text and the first in-depth analysis in the form of commentary and individual studies on the hierarchy, the ceremonies, court attire, the Blachernai palace, lighting, music, gestures and postures, this volume makes an important new contribution to the study of the Byzantine court, and to the history and culture of Byzantium more broadly.

How were Greek texts on the care and medical treatment of the horse transmitted from antiquity to the present day? Using the evidence of Byzantine manuscripts of the veterinary compilation known as the Hippiatrica, Anne McCabe traces the journey of the texts from the stables to the medieval scriptorium and ultimately to the printed edition. Surviving manuscripts include both magnificent presentation copies and plain ones intended for use in the field. The Hippiatrica is a rich and little-known source of information about horses, medicine, and magic. This book provides a guide to its complex history as well as a host of fascinating details, and includes colour illustrations of a number of manuscript pages.

Liudprand (vers 920-972 ?), originaire de Pavie où il entra dans la carrière ecclésiastique, est un témoin privilégié des vicissitudes politiques du Xe siècle. Retour d'une ambassade à Constantinople menée pour le compte du roi d'Italie Bérenger II en 949, il s'exila en Germanie : un choix gagnant, qui lui valut de devenir évêque de Crémone en 962, au moment où Otton Ier vint ceindre la couronne impériale à Rome. C'est à la cour ottonienne qu'il fit ses armes d'écrivain d'église, en composant un sermon pour les fêtes de Pâques. Mais Liudprand est surtout connu pour son œuvre historiographique engagée. Avec la "Rétribution (Antapodosis)", il répond à une sollicitation de son confrère mozarabe d'Elvire (Grenade), en dressant une "histoire des empereurs et des rois de toute l'Europe" depuis l'éclatement de l'empire carolingien en 888 jusqu'à son temps, et dans laquelle le point de vue alterne entre l'Italie, la Germanie et Byzance. Il s'agit en réalité de justifier les prétentions ottoniennes sur l'Italie. L'"Histoire d'Otton" est un court pamphlet qui veut donner le point de vue du nouvel empereur saxon sur les conditions discutées de l'éviction du pape Jean XII, en 964. Enfin, l'"Ambassade à Constantinople", récit d'un autre séjour dans l'Orient grec, en 968, dresse un tableau aussi noir que précis des usages diplomatiques byzantins. Au fil de ses écrits, Liudprand, l'évêque courtisan spécialiste des relations diplomatiques, délivre un message moral sans cesse répété sur la responsabilité qu'implique le libre arbitre. Il le fait dans un style alerte farci de références classiques, maniant sans retenue l'invective, la harangue et les scènes hautes en couleur teintées d'un humour scabreux, qui ont beaucoup fait pour la légende noire du "siècle de fer". La présente traduction donne pour la première fois accès à l'intégralité du texte en français, en regard du latin. Elle est précédée d'une présentation historique et littéraire et s'accompagne d'un commentaire nourri, avec un accent particulier sur l'identification des sources.
