La "descrizione dei tempi" all'alba dell'espansione islamica: Un'indagine sulla storiografia greca, siriaca e araba fra VII e VIII secolo - 47 (1st edition.)

The 7-8th centuries are commonly believed to have been a stagnant phase of Byzantine historiography. This book investigates the writing of history in Greek and Syriac during this period through the study of four later chronicles which used lost 7-8th-century sources. The materials shared by these texts shed light on the sources themselves and on the practice of “memory keeping” among Christians in such a crucial age.
