title: The Middle Byzantine Historians
author: W. Treadgold
description: <span>"Warren Treadgold's <i>The Middle Byzantine Historians</i> (<i>MBH</i>), sequel to the earlier <i>The Early Byzantine Historians</i>, ... is a work of impressive scope and ambition that offers original thoughts on most of the works reviewed therein. ... A welcome addition to our body of knowledge, <i>MBH</i> raises important questions and demands Byzantinists' careful attention, engagement, and reaction."</span><br /> <span>Dimitris Krallis, <i>Speculum</i></span><br /><br /><span>"The book ... accords due weight to a tradition of historical writing stretching back to classical and biblical times and enables us to put individual histories into context, in a way which was not previously possible. ... The shift of focus away from the great names paradoxically allows a much better balanced account of their histories, because Treadgold sees no need to dwell on the misleading accusations so often made that they were deliberately distorting the record of their age."</span><br /> <span>Michael Angold, <i>Journal of Ecclesiastical History</i></span><br /><br /><span>"... Treadgold has woven many important new findings into a comprehensive handbook on the Byzantine historians.<span> </span>This excellent book will be essential reading for students of Byzantine history, and its fresh interpretations will further scholarly debates."</span><br /> <span>Christopher Hobbs, <i>English Historical Review</i></span>
