Boissevain supported that from Excerpt 44 onwards the sylloge derives from a lost chronicle. 77 De Boor, by contrast, argued that the entire Exc.Salm.II drew on a lost chronicle. 78 Except for the ostensibly differing opinions, both scholars agree that a chronicle stands behind the entire or a part of the production of the Exc.Salm.II.…”

(Re)writing History in Byzantium

Scholars have recently begun to study collections of Byzantine historical excerpts as autonomous pieces of literature. 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 rewriting history.Panagiotis Manafis is a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Birmingham, UK. His research interests include middle Byzantine literature, with a particular focus on the manuscript transmission of texts.
