Publisher’s hardcover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1988 edition of Leo the Deacon’s History stands as one of the most significant Byzantine primary sources available in Russian translation, covering the turbulent period from 959 to 976 AD. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the Byzantine Empire’s military and diplomatic struggles, including the arrangement of detailed eyewitness accounts of Emperor John I Tzimiskes’ campaigns and the legendary confrontation with Prince Sviatoslav of Kievan Rus. Leo the Deacon, a participant in these events, offers a vital primary source for the study of the Siege of Dorostolon and the early interactions between Byzantium and the nascent Russian state. Published within the esteemed \"Monuments of Historical Thought\" series by \"Nauka,\" this volume is accompanied by extensive scholarly commentary by M. Ya. Syuzyumov and S. A. Ivanov, which provides critical context on the author’s classicizing style and the geopolitical complexities of the 10th-century Mediterranean world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963072348202,"sku":"EB-306598486450","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_136f01af-83c0-4741-811e-46a52e89f868.jpg?v=1768160883","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/leo-the-deacon-history-1988-%d0%bb%d0%b5%d0%b2-%d0%b4%d0%b8%d0%b0%d0%ba%d0%be%d0%bd-%d0%b8%d1%81%d1%82%d0%be%d1%80%d0%b8%d1%8f-%d0%bf%d0%b0%d0%bc%d1%8f%d1%82%d0%bd%d0%b8%d0%ba%d0%b8-%d0%b8%d1%81%d1%82%d0%be%d1%80%d0%b8%d1%87%d0%b5%d1%81%d0%ba%d0%be%d0%b9-%d0%bc%d1%8b%d1%81%d0%bb%d0%b8","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
