Some of those texts had been published by the Greek scholar Konstantinos Sathas at the end of the XIX c. Those editions hardly correspond to the contemporary standards. The same applies to several more recent editions, prepared by P. Gautier, which also leave much to be desired.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe most important texts of our collection are the funeral orations for the patriarchs Michael Keroullarios, Konstantinos Leichoudes and John Xiphilinos, a personal friend of Michael Psellos. All the texts offer valuable details concerning Psellos’s early life; at the same time they constitute an important testimony to the survival of the Late Antique Rhetoric in XI c. Byzantium. They constitute a necessary supplement to Psellos’s more famous work, his \u003cem\u003eChronography\u003c\/em\u003e, verifying and shedding a new light on the events narrated there.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ioannis Polemis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48261749473531,"sku":"9783110347050","price":112.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_97c46c7f-56b1-4554-b69a-ead5dfb00a0c.jpg?v=1775607019","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/orationes-funebres-9783110347050","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
