Notes:'This volume consists of two uneven parts: a number of papers presented at a workshop dedicated to the correpondence of Michael Psellos, held in Oxford on 6-7 November 2010, and the summaries of all the letters of Michael Psellos. The second part is obviously the most important one.... In an ideal world this volume would have come out after, not before Stratis Papaioannou's forthcoming edition of the letters of Psellos." -- p. v.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:The Letters of Psellos' is the first detailed study of the correspondence of Michael Psellos, a leading Byzantine intellectual, politician, and writer of the eleventh century. Psellos' corpus of over 500 letters represents a historical source of great significance for the study of society and culture of the time: literary masterpieces in and of themselves, yet often complex and difficult to understand in their entirety, they not only rebound with subtlety and humour, but also offer invaluable information on myriad subjects ranging from the political culture of Byzantium and its civil administration to social codes, religious beliefs, and popular culture.--Provided by the publisher.
