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. 410 0$aByzantinisches Archiv ;$vBand 30. 606 $aMilitary art and science 607 $aIstanbul (Turkey)$xHistory$vEarly works to 1800 610 $aByzantine and Ottoman History. 610 $aJohn Kananos. 610 $aMedieval Greek. 610 $aWarfare. 615 0$aMilitary art and science. 676 $a949.5040924 700 $aCananus$b Joannes$factive 15th century.$01244545 702 $aCuomo$b Andreas Massimo 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796685803321 996 $aIoannis Canani de Constantinopolitana obsidione relatio$92886942 997 $aUNINA
