Malalas, John
John Malalas is known as the author of the earliest surviving Christian world chronicle, a type of history writing considered typically Byzantine.
Zonaras, John
John Zonaras (died after 1159 CE ) held high office under Alexios I Komnenos (reigned 1081–1118) but lost his position after that emperor's death. He retired as a monk to the monastery of St. Glykeria (probably on the Princes' Islands in the Sea of Marmara).
Theophanes the Confessor
Theophanes the Confessor (ca. 760–817 CE ), monk and historian, is known for his Chronographia .
Literary Genre or Religious Apathy? The Presence or Absence of Theology and Religious Thought in Secular Writing in the Late Antique East
John Malalas, author of a Christian world chronicle compiled initially ca . 532 and completed ca . 565, shows only token interest in the Christian trappings of the world around him: he records items of ecclesiastical bureaucracy such as councils and the election or deposition of patriarchs. Of far more real concern to him are rituals and strands of belief that are barely Christian, as shown by his references to mystikoi and his millennial preoccu…
The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Studies
Justice Legal Literature
Byzantium has produced an extensive legal literature, though little in the way of legal theory. In the field of secular law, the reign of Justinian I brings the transition from Late Antiquity to Byzantium. Justinian's codification of Roman law in the Digest (and Institutes) and Code both brings ancient Roman law to its conclusion and forms the beginning of Byzantine law. The Digest is an anthology of the writings of Roman jurists of the first cen…
Apokopos
The Beginning of Byzantine Chronography
The chronicle of John Malalas, written in the course of the sixth century, is the earliest extant example of a Byzantine world chronicle. This is a genre which, combining secular and biblical history, presents a Christian account of world history from creation to the author's own day. This chapter focuses on features from the chronicle as a whole that can be isolated and attributed to sources of different types. This was the approach taken in the…
