One of most original figures of Byzantine intellectual history, Psellos was a polymath whose range extended from rhetoric and philosophy to law and medicine. While his history of his own times, the Chronographia , is one of the best known works of Byzantine literature, very little else of his large body of work has been translated. It is the intention of this volume to encourage a wider awareness of Psellos' many interests by offering readings of his original texts from a variety of scholarly perspectives.The Medieval Mediterranean ;61.Intellectual historyPhilosophy, MedievalIntellectual history.Philosophy, Medieval.189Barber CharlesJenkins DavidNL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910784893503321Reading Michael Psellos3688825UNINA
