INFO
John Skylitzes
/From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia/
John Skylitzes, latinized as Ioannes Scylitzes (Greek:
Ἰωάννης Σκυλίτζης, also Σκυλλίτζης/Σκυλίτσης, Iōannēs Skylitzēs/Skyllitzēs/Skylitsēs)
was a Greek historian of the late 11th century. According
to Seibt, he was born in the beginning of 1040's and died
after 1101.
Life
Very little is known about his life. The
title of his work records him as a kouropalatēs and a former
droungarios of the Vigla, whereby he is usually identified
with a certain John Thrakesios.
His major work is the Synopsis of Histories
(Σύνοψις Ἱστοριῶν), which covers the reigns of the Byzantine
emperors from the death of Nikephoros I in 811 to the deposition
of Michael VI in 1057; it continues the chronicle of Theophanes
the Confessor. There is a continuation of this work, known
as Scylitzes Continuatus covering 1057 – 1079; some historians
hypothesize that it was also written by Skylitzes.
The Madrid Skylitzes
The most famous manuscript of the Synopsis
was produced in Sicily in the 12th century, and is now at
the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid, so is known as
the Madrid Skylitzes. It features 574 miniatures, while some
100 have been lost, and is the only surviving Byzantine illuminated
chronicle in Greek, providing an invaluable primary source
for the visualization of contemporary Byzantium.
