New research on the manuscripts has produced a new stemma codicum and shown that the oldest witness of this narrative, Vat. gr. 579 (ff. 355r - 364v), was written in Constantinople and belonged to the prolific scribe Phlamules Kontostephanos, who also provided the copy with a title in which the name of John Kananos is mentioned for the first time. The philological approach adopted here explains contradictions among the manuscripts and Kananos' peculiar vernacularisms and reveals a surprisingly realistic and elaborate Greek. The accompanying English translation, a chapter on the language of Kananos, and a complete thesaurus make this volume a valuable contribution to the study of late Byzantine literature.Byzantinisches Archiv ;Band 30.Military art and scienceIstanbul (Turkey)HistoryEarly works to 1800Byzantine and Ottoman History.John Kananos.Medieval Greek.Warfare.Military art and science.949.5040924Cananus Joannesactive 15th century.1244545Cuomo Andreas MassimoMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808898803321Ioannis Canani de Constantinopolitana obsidione relatio2886942UNINA
