“…Para Adshead (1993), foi Simeão Metafrasta que compilou a HS, porque a sua publicação criaria uma poderosa analogia com a sua crítica a Basílio I. De facto, no século X, Bizâncio lança uma reconquista de várias terras e vários historiadores recuperam o estilo de PC no DB, para equiparar a reconquista do século X à reconquista do século VI com Justiniano (Kaldellis, 2015). PC era um autor muito popular ainda nessa altura, inspirando os historiadores do século X.…”

Resumo: O objectivo deste trabalho é o de analisar o debate e a renovação historiográfica sobre a História Secreta de Procópio de Cesareia, no sentido de entender os avanços e as novas perspetivas, surgidas recentemente, acerca desta obra. Procura-se, além do mais, efetuar uma aproximação ao próprio percurso de Procópio de Cesareia, que decidiu escrever uma obra em contradição com o que ele próprio escrevera anteriormente, sugerindo-se justificações decorrentes do seu percurso e dos confrontos com o ambiente da época.

This paper looks into the piece by Constantine Manasses considering how it depicts the Arabs. It appears Manasses saw the Arabs primarily as bloody and cruel plunderers who invaded the Byzantine lands. Indeed, they won some of the fights against the Byzantines but eventually had to accept their superiority and concede defeat. It should also be noted that Constantine Manasses did not bring up religious themes when referring to the Arabs.

This paper takes a fresh look at the sources of Leo the Deacon and comments on what has been written about them by other Byzantinists. It will also study Leo the Deacon?s style of writing, which is certainly innovative, since the History he authored stands apart from the historiographical works that preceded it, as it seeks to meld the new historiography that had emerged from the circle of Constantine VII Porphyrogennetos with the classical tradition. And Leo blazes new trails by praising specific individuals, the vast majority of them military men, around whose actions and achievements - on the field of battle, in the main - his narrative near exclusively revolves. The paper then goes on to indicate that one of the most important texts that has been identified as a source of Leo?s History is the Pophyrogennetos? vast collection conventionally labelled the Excerpta Constantiniana; the Excerpta are then re-evaluated, particularly in terms of their links to Leo, which turn out to be close, as a number of examples illustrate.
