This article examines Agathias of Myrina’s presentation of Italy, Italians, and the Gothic War. His presentation of these subjects is framed around the historical methodology outlined in his preface, which is centered on truth and edification. I argue that he presents the civilian population of Italy as a category distinct from both Romans and barbarians. He does so in order to advance an argument about the devastating consequences of warfare throughout the peninsula during the Gothic War. He also provides moral instruction to his readers about the negative effects of unjust wars, and he offers a veiled critique of Justinian’s wars of conquest in this context. I position Agathias as a valuable, insightful source for sixth-century Italian history and cultural change at the time.

The codicological and palaeographic study of MS Laur. Plut. 59.35, the most important manuscript of the epistolary of Theodoros II Laskaris, determines that it is made up of three codicological units and that, despite the dauntingly changing aspect of the handwriting, only four hands transcribed texts and one out of them (scribe 1) copied the primary texts of the codex (the epistolaries of Theodoros II Laskaris and Synesius and a homily by Maximos Planudes). Initially the codex was possessed by Manuel Angelos, whose death around 1303 provides a terminus ante quem for its copy. For his part, scribe 4 has to be identified with a subsequent owner of the manuscript, since he included in it private notes, dated between 1324 and 1325. Those reminders present him as an aristocrat who belonged to imperial and ecclesiastical circles and a man of letters with economic interests in the Sporades Islands. The current book was therefore produced from before 1303 to before 1324-1325 in a stable copying environment, whether a private library or a public bureau. The last addition to the book were five letters composed probably by Manuel Angelos, that we publish here for the first time.

The lives of the Stylite saints share many common literary motifs structuring the story of each text. At the same time, these motifs clearly show how the biographies of these saints were connected among themselves and even may reveal the existence of a specific hagiographical genre. Among them, the presence of dreams and visions are of great importance. Thus, an overview of the scenes in which these elements are featured is absolutely necessary to establish intertextual or generic relationships among the lives of these saints of the Middle Byzantine period.

The life of St. Theodore of Kythera, who was an ascetic monk active in the southern Peloponnese during the early 10th century, is the elaboration of an earlier Life, which no longer exists in its original form. By separating which aspects of this text are the contribution of each author, it is possible to identify the development of two distinct traditions. This article argues that the increased reputation of St. Theodore evident in the second version of the Life was the result of his becoming associated with the reinhabitation of the island of Kythera in the decades following the Roman conquest of Crete in 961. Furthermore, this article suggests that the composition of the Life and the promotion of the saint’s cult were at the behest of individuals from the town of Monemvasia who had developed economic interests on Kythera.
10世纪早期活跃在南伯罗奔尼撒半岛的苦行僧圣·西奥多(St. Theodore of Kythera)的生活是对早期生活的详细描述，但现在已不再以原始形式存在。通过区分文本的哪些方面是每个作者的贡献，可以确定两个不同传统的发展。这篇文章认为，在《生活》的第二版中，圣西奥多的声望明显上升，这是他在公元961年罗马征服克里特岛后的几十年里与基西拉岛的重新定居联系在一起的结果。此外，这篇文章表明，生命的组成和圣人崇拜的推广是在Monemvasia镇的个人的命令下进行的，这些人在Kythera上发展了经济利益。

The entire textual tradition of Nicomachus’ Introductio arithmetica and of the commentaries and scholia thereon is investigated by using a single, unusually cryptic sentence in Nicomachus’ text as case-study. The relations between the “Recensions” of Ammonius’ lecture notes are also clearly established. Finally, the way an entire exegetical tradition has dealt with such a cryptic sentence is discussed.

The focus of this paper is double: an overview of the theological discussion from the Council of Chalcedon to the Council of Nicaea II about the status of the sacred images in Christianity, and a global inquiry around the iconography proofs in monumental art before the so called “Iconoclastic controversy” (726/730-843). The interconnection through theological speculations, conciliar decrees, mosaics and frescoes in the apse or on the floors of the churches, aims at restoring the complexity of the role and diffusion of the sacred images between the 6th and 8th centuries in the Byzantine Empire. A detailed presentation of the respective Christological positions of iconomachs and iconophiles and an overview of the main iconographical subjects preserved in the churches will help to overcome some myths that historiography has consigned to history and to achieve a more faithful approach to historical realities.

Commercial exchanges in and with the Duchies of Athens and Neopatria during the “Catalan” domination have received little interest from researchers. Nevertheless, unpublished documentation from archives allows us to characterize now those commercial activities and to highlight an intensity far from traditional assumptions. From the commercial point of view the two most outstanding characteristics of this period will be the emergence of new agents with a leading role, the Catalans, and a new product, the slave, which will also be the basis on which an active long-distance trade will be sustained, especially with the island of Mallorca.
