Publisher's Synopsis
Dexippi, Eunapii, Petri Patricii, Prisci, Malchi, Menandri Historiarum Quae Supersunt is a collection of historical fragments and excerpts from various late antique and Byzantine historians, meticulously compiled and edited by Immanuel Bekker. This volume preserves invaluable portions of works by Dexippus, Eunapius, Peter the Patrician, Priscus, Malchus, and Menander Protector, offering insights into the political, social, and military events of the Roman Empire and its successor states during a tumultuous period. These fragments, often the only surviving evidence of their original contexts, provide crucial perspectives on the reigns of emperors, barbarian invasions, and the transformation of the classical world into the medieval era. Bekker's edition makes these essential primary sources accessible to scholars and students of ancient history, late antiquity, and Byzantine studies, ensuring their continued relevance for understanding the complexities of the past.
