Brief description:
Michael Psellos was a Byzantine Greek monk, writer, philosopher, politician, and historian.
Review Quotes:
"The bulk of Psellos's one thousand or so theological and philosophical works remain untranslated in any language. The planned future volumes in this series will begin to fill this gap, and thus deservedly make more accessible the fascinating world and mind of Michael Psellos to a larger audience." --Parergon
