"L'Historiarum compendium di Giorgio Cedreno abbraccia un arco temporale che, iniziando dalla creazione del mondo arriva fino al 1057. Cedreno si dedicò a una complessa e laboriosa opera di compilazione utilizzando per il suo lavoro un gran numero di fonti. Il molteplice uso di queste ultime, tuttavia, si esaurisce con la morte di Stauracio (a. 811): con l'avvento al trono imperiale di Michele I Rangabe, infatti, la Synopsis historiarum di Giovanni Scilitze assurge a fonte esclusiva di questa cronaca. Considerando ciò, sembra ragionevole escludere da questa edizione il segmento scilitziano, cioè gli anni dall'811 al 1057, assumendo come termine cronologico conclusivo di essa l'anno 811. A partire da questa data i manoscritti cedreniani diventano in realtà testimoni del testo di Giovanni Scilitze e il loro uso trova congrua collocazione nell'ambito della tradizione manoscritta di quell'autore."--

" J.M. Roberts' History of the World is one of the pivotal works of our era, a one-volume survey of the major events, developments, and personalities that has offered generations of readers a tour of the vast landscape of human history. A book of extraordinary ambition, clarity, and style, it provides a substantial and authoritative narrative of the world predicated on the notion that history is the story of change. With engaging chapters devoted to transformative centers of human creativity from the earliest hominids to the end of the twentieth century, The History of the World is a landmark work carried by a powerful vision and voice. In this sixth edition, Bancroft Prize - winning historian Odd Arne Westad has thoroughly updated Roberts' landmark work to bring the narrative into the twenty-first century, from the attacks of September 11, 2001, to the economic crisis that began in 2008. Staying true to Roberts'original vision, Westad emphasizes the general, the major, and the essential in order to understand how peoples and individuals interacted and how such interactions became webs of meaning and significance. In addition to new material on the first decade of the twenty-first century, Westad has also revised the work throughout in light of new discoveries and research. The sixth edition of The History of the World offers a fuller discussion of Central Eurasia and the late Byzantine Empire thanks to new knowledge of major migration patterns; a broader dialogue on early human life based on recent archaeological and anthropological finds; and a more complete presentation of social and cultural roles of women and young people. Completely revised and reconsidered for a new century, The History of the World promises to remain the standard for global history for years to come."
