The Thirteenth-century Emperor Theodore Ii Laskaris, Ruler Of The Empire Of Nicaea, Is Among Those Versatile Authors Of The Byzantine Era Who Produced Numerous Little-known Gems Of Literature And Thought.

This Volume Represents The First Translation Into English Of Eight Works By Laskaris. An Introduction And Annotations To The Translations Orient The Reader And Contextualize These Fascinating Pieces. The Selections Themselves Include A Satire Of His Tutor, His Oration On Friendship And Politics, His Oration On Hellenism, And Philosophical Works And Musings That Include A Treatise Filled With Socratic Irony. They Represent The Most Prominent Strands Of Laskaris's Thought And Provide The Reader With A Well-rounded Portrait Of This Remarkable Author-- Provided By Publisher.
