`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
