BYZANTINE STUDIES
The Tale of Constantinople
(of its Origin and Capture in the Year 1453)Nestor-Iskander
Translated and annotated by Walter Hanak and Marios Philippides
There are few surviving accounts of the final siege and subsequent conquest of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453. This work, by an individual known as Nestor-Iskander, is a unique testament to the event that brought an end to the millennial empire of East Rome.
This bilingual edition is the work's first translation into English, presenting the original Slavic text and the translation on facing pages. It is based on the Troitse-Sergievskaia Lavra Ms. No. 773. There are extensive annotations by the editors.

Constantine XI Dragas Palaeologus
A Biography of the Last Greek EmperorMarios Philippides
This is the first full biography of the last emperor of Byzantium, who died defending Constantinople against the Ottoman Turks. Dr. Philippides has researched sources in many languages to reconstruct his life and his policies and to provide a detailed description of his reign in the years preceding the fall.
He establishes that, having ascended the throne of Byzantium, Constantine XI made a concerted effort to restore Greek power in the region through an active diplomacy that sought to ally Constantinople with Serbian and other Christian leaders in order to stem the oncoming Ottoman tide.
In the process of researching and reconstructing Constantine's life, the author has produced an important work of scholarship and created a compelling portrait of Constantine and his circumstances.

Byzantium's Last Imperial Offensive in Asia Minor
The Documentary Evidence for and Hagiographical Lore about John III Ducas Vatatzes' Crusade against the Turks, 1222 or 1225 to 1231John S. Langdon
The Emperor John III Ducas Vatatzes (1222-54) consolidated his imperium in Asia Minor by 1224. He appeared poised to launch a massive assault upon Latin-occupied Constantinople and to restore the pre-1204 Byzantine Empire.Yet John III suddenly abandoned this compelling strategy. Dr. Langdon compiles evidence suggesting that John III was absorbed in waging a crusade against the Turks along the Eastern frontier. Using Byzantine, Metabyzantine, Latin and Arabic sources the author is able to postulate the date for this conflict,and also that John III led the crusade personally.

Hellenism: Ancient, Mediaeval, Modern, 7Byzantine Heroic Poetry
David Ricks
This book presents representative examples of Byzantine heroic poetry from the Escorial version of Digenes Akrites and the Armoures, in a bilingual edition. The quality of the poems varies, but they are proof that Eastern Christendom was not without the chansons de geste that we find in the West. Indeed, at their best, in their swift narration, their vigor, the humanityof their characters and their inability to grow old, these Byzantine poems rank with the great works of the West.
