摘要

十一世纪后期的事件,有时提供他对事件和个人的想法和见解。正如麦吉尔所指出的,“[Skylitzes]断言,它的价值在于他对早期编年史和历史的批判性阅读,对其内容的选择和删节,以及将其来源提炼成精华,“一部纯粹的历史”,清除了在他看来扭曲了他查阅的许多作品的美化、谴责或轻信”(第4页)。这也许可以解释为什么《续编》只有阿塔莱亚特斯历史的五分之一:斯凯利茨认为,他的目的是重新包装和消除原作者不必要的夸大或严厉意见。新版最受欢迎的特点之一是将Skylitzes Continutatus与Attaleiates和Zonaras记录的历史事件相互引用的一致性(第193-197页):这对希望对这些非常时期进行比较分析的学生和学者非常有用。同样具有相当价值的还有引言和详细的附注,它们用细致入微的解释和韵律信息阐明并告知读者。在引言中,麦吉尔对11世纪末的事件进行了详细的总结,强调了可能影响主要作者自己解释的领域,特别是1057年伊萨克一世·科姆内诺斯退位后的Doukoi Komnenoi竞争。图像的加入和对皇家印章的讨论引起了人们对一种经常被忽视的证据形式——象形文字的关注;这一点,再加上可供参考的韵律学索引(John Nesbitt),有助于读者通过提供和解释各种人物的等级和头衔来了解他们的背景。将Skylitzes Continuatus翻译成英语将极大地帮助对11世纪拜占庭世界感兴趣但无法阅读希腊原文的读者。麦吉尔和奈斯比特的这部作品值得高度赞扬,因为它揭开了难以接近的帷幕,让各级学者都有机会研究拜占庭历史上这一形成时期。
