The History of Theophylact Simocatta
This is the first translation into English of the History of Theophylact Simocatta, the last major historian of classical antiquity. By far the most important source for the history of the late sixth century A.D., the History has never before been fully evaluated due to Theophylact's obscure and idiosyncratic style. The narrative concentrates on the acts of war that threatened the stability of the reign of Emperor Maurice (A.D. 582-602)--the Persian War and struggles with the Avar federation and the Slav tribes in the Balkans.
The Explanation by Blessed Theophylact of the Holy Gospel According to St. Matthew
A timeless classic of the Eastern Orthodox Church, now available for the first time in English translation. Renowned in Russian Orthodox literature as THE BLAGOVIESTNIK (Explanation of the Holy Gospel), it has been for 900 years the fundamental Gospel commentary of the whole Orthodox Church. It distills the teachings of the early Church Fathers into a simple, profound, verse by verse commentary, & reveals the way in which Orthodox Christians approach the Scriptures. Vol. 2, The Explanation of St. Mark, is due for publication in October, 1993. "It is an achievement to bring into contemporary light this part of the Orthodox Tradition."--Fr. Theodore Stylianopoulos, Professor of New Testament at Holy Cross Seminary, Brookline, MA. "An important & much needed book for Orthodox Christians in their study of the New Testament."--Bishop Hilarion, Manhattan, NY. "The material is superb, lofty, & inspiring."--Bishop Chrysostomos, Etna, CA.
