This book focuses on a series of minor collections that have received little or no scholarly attention, including the Epitome of the seventh century, the Excerpta Anonymi (tenth century), the Excerpta Salmasiana (eighth to eleventh centuries) and the Excerpta Planudea (thirteenth century). Three aspects of these texts are analysed in detail: their method of redaction, their literary structure, and their cultural and political function. Combining codicological, literary and political analyses, this study contributes to a better understanding of the intertwining of knowledge and power, and suggests that these collections of historical excerpts should be seen as a Byzantine way of re-writing history"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aByzantine literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHISTORY / General$2bisacsh 607 $aByzantine Empire$xHistoriography 607 $aByzantine Empire$xAbstracts$xHistory 615 0$aByzantine literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 7$aHISTORY / General 676 $a949.5/02072 700 $aManafis$b Panagiotis$0965280 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910765826603321 996 $aRe)writing history in Byzantium$92190135 997 $aUNINA
