This book presents the proceedings of the conference โThe Chronicle of Theophanes : sources, composition, transmission,โ organized by the editors in Paris in September 2012. The first section of the volume is devoted to the question of the authorship of the Chronicle, raised by C.โฏMango almost forty years ago. The second section is devoted to issues of transmission, both direct (manuscript tradition) and indirect (readership, translations). The third section concerns Theophanesโ sources for early Byzantine history. A separate section hosts papers by some of the major actors in the current debate on Theophanesโ Eastern source. The last section of the book deals with the later part of the Chronicle and with its sources.
