This volume explores various forms, functions and meanings of satirical texts written in the Middle Byzantine period.
Innovation in Byzantine Medicine
Byzantine medicine remains a little known and misrepresented field not only in the context of debates on medieval medicine, but also among Byzantinists themselves. It is often viewed as 'stagnant' and mainly preserving ancient ideas, and our knowledge of it continues to be based to a great extent on the comments of earlier authorities, which are often repeated uncritically.

Its main thesis is that John's medical works show an astonishing degree of openness to knowledge from outside Byzantium combined with a signif...

Michaelis Pselli Chronographia
Die neue kritische Ausgabe der Chronographia des Michael Psellos enthält mehrere hundert neue Korrekturen des äußerst korrupten Textes durch Emendationen neben den kleineren Verbesserungen, gewonnen durch Neukollation des codex unicus (2. Hälfte 12. Jh.) und des Fragments in einem Codex des 14. Jh. sowie durch die durchgehende Berücksichtigung der Nebenüberlieferung; viele frühere Konjekturen werden zurückgewiesen. Die gesamte kritische Beschäftigung mit dem Text seit der editio princeps von 1874 ist im apparatus criticus dokumentiert und in einem textkritischen Kommentar aufgearbeitet.
