This 1978 volume is a definitive Soviet edition of the Chronographia, the masterpiece of Michael Psellus (1018–1078), a leading Byzantine statesman, philosopher, and historian. Published as part of the prestigious "Monuments of Historical Thought" series, the text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of the Byzantine court during the 11th century, including the arrangement of political intrigue and the personal character studies of fourteen emperors and empresses from Basil II to Michael VII Doukas. Unlike traditional hagiographic chronicles, Psellus’s work is celebrated for its psychological realism, subjective perspective, and sophisticated literary style, making it one of the most important memoirs of the Middle Ages.
The translation and extensive scholarly apparatus were prepared by the prominent Byzantinist Yakov Lyubarsky, under the editorship of Alexander Kazhdan, ensuring the highest level of philological and historical accuracy. Across its 319 pages, the edition includes a substantial introductory article and detailed commentaries that contextualize Psellus's era—a period of transition for the Byzantine Empire. The book is illustrated with reproductions from medieval manuscripts and coins, enhancing the historical narrative. Published by Nauka, this 1978 Moscow imprint has long been considered the standard Russian reference for Psellus's work. For bibliophiles, medievalists, and collectors of Byzantine studies, it remains a vital primary source, documenting the intellectual brilliance and political turbulence of the "Golden Age" of the Eastern Roman Empire.
