AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare Constantinopolitan collection of three important Byzantine writers, spanning from the 7th century to the 14th. Mostly theological in character, the greatest space is given to the Biblical commentaries of 12th century poet and writer, Theodore Prodromus (pages 1-116). Included are his commentaries on the Pentateuch and Gospels, as well as his biographies of Gregory the Theologian and St. John Chrysostom. Although Prodromus is well-represented in early printing (including a Aldine edition of 1495), his Biblical commentaries are not, and I could not locate an earlier edition of the works included here. The next section (pages 119-155) includes two major works by George of Pisidia: his Hexameron, a didactic poem on the Six Days of Creation, and his autobiography, in Latin rendered 'De Vanitate Vitae'. Both works had appeared in 16th century Western European editions. The final section (pages 155-197) is mostly the historical works of Nikephoros Xanthopoulos, including his work on the Destruction of Jerusalem, a Genealogy of Christ, and his Menologion. Some of Xanthopoulos' works also previously appeared in print, but usually in translation. 4to (21.5 x 17.5cm), [viii], 200pp. A bit of foxing, a few small closed tears/repairs in text including title-page and first few leaves slightly obstructing text, damp-staining to several leaves. A few contemporary ink annotations. Bound in quarter calf over marbled boards, a bit worn.
