About the Book

This is the first complete translation into English (or any other modern language) of the Chronicle of Theophanes Confessor (d.818), which covers the period AD 284-813 and is one of the most important sources of Byzantine history, that of the Arabs under the Umayyad and Abbasid dynasties and of other neighbouring peoples (notably the Bulgarians). The Chronicle is a compilation of earlier sources, many of them now lost: in order to use it critically the historian needs to know what texts Theophanes had in front of him and how he handled them. These have consequently been indicated in the text in so far as they can be indentified. Full annotation has also been provided on points of historical and topographical interest. The career of Theophanes, the character of the Chronicle, its manuscript tradition, and the use of earlier sources are discussed in the Introduction.

Review :
`provides the first complete English translation of the Chronicle of Theophanes Confessor. ... Cyril Mango ... and Roger Scott ... have performed a great scholarly service. ... The translation is smooth and readable and can even manage to give a sense of the variety of materials the author has drawn from. Notes to the translation are primarily interested in giving background on historical events. Excellent indices compiled by Geoffrey Greatrex make the volume easy to use. ... every institutional library should possess a copy.' Derek Kruger, Journal of Early Christian Studies `The Chronicle of Theophanes Confessor... a source of Byzantine history here which is of the utmost importance. THis full English translation with explanatory notes makes the work very accessible.' Martin Parmentier, Bijdragen `This new translation differs in that it covers Theophanes' entire work with a thorough commentary. The commentary displays conciseness, wide knowledge, and sound judgment throughout. This study supersedes all previous work on this subject. Both Roger Scott and Cyril Mango desrve tribute for their effort, which sets new standards for others to follow.' Norman Tobias `The editors provide expert guidance through all the intricate problems. Every library of medieval studies, especially Byzantine Iconoclasm, should own this definitive translation with its astute and learned commentary, glossary, and helpful indexes.' Michael Maas, Religious Studies Review
