Theophanes' Chronicle
Chronographia
Book • 1982
Theophanes' Chronicle, also known as Chronographia, is a historical work that continues the chronicle of George Syncellus.
It covers events from the accession of Diocletian in 284 to the downfall of Michael I Rhangabes in 813.
The chronicle is valuable for preserving accounts of lost authorities on Byzantine history, particularly for the 7th and 8th centuries.
It includes detailed entries on significant events such as the Byzantine victory over the Arab besiegers of Constantinople and the development of the Arab polity.
Theophanes' work is notable for its use of older sources now lost and its detailed account of historical events, although it lacks depth of scholarship and historical insight in some areas.
