Hagiography in Byzantium: Literature, Social History and Cult

By: Stephanos Efthymiadis

Involving a vast number of texts, saintly heroes and authors, Byzantine hagiography stands out as a field of scholarly research highly rewarding for both the philologist and the historian. The studies reproduced in this volume cover a chronological range from late antiquity to the Paleologan era. They bring together annotated editions of specific texts and discussions of their contexts, complemented by comprehensive surveys of saintly and monastic cult. Having appeared over the last twenty years, they also illustrate and reflect upon the significant development and re-orientation which has marked the study of hagiography in recent decades.

The Life of the Patriarch Tarasios by Ignatios Deacon (BHG1698)

Introduction, Edition, Translation and Commentary

By: Stephanos Efthymiadis

The patriarch Tarasios holds a key position in the ending of the first period of Iconoclasm in Byzantium, with the seventh Oecumenical Council at Nicaea in 787. His Life forms an equally key source for the history and culture of the Byzantine world in the eighth and ninth centuries. This book provides a full introduction, a critical edition with English translation, and a detailed commentary and indexes for this important document. The introduction first places the text within the framework of other patriarchal biographies composed in the period c.850-950. Dr Efthymiadis then looks at Tarasios himself, as layman, patriarch, and saint, and provides a biographical sketch of the author of the Life, Ignatios the Deacon, together with a discussion of the date and reasons for the work’s composition. In addition, this new text and translation makes more accessible a highly sophisticated example of Byzantine prose.

The Correspondence of Ignatios, the Deacon

By: Ignatios (the Deacon)

Ignatios was a key figure in the revival of literary culture in Constantinople during the first half of the ninth century.

His Correspondence survives in a single manuscript and was first published in a now rare 1903 edition. The 64 letters are presented in facing pages of Greek and English. Some contain important information on social and economic aspects of his time. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
