Excerpta et fragmenta (Greek, Ancient (to 1453), Hardcover)

This is an impressive history about state, power and intrigues in thefifth century A.D. Byzantium, zooming on Attila and the Huns with large details, written by a Greek who visited Attila at his own risk. From a historical point of view, some nations from Eastern Europe, Asia and Africa find in Priscus a unique source for their roots. To philologians, this text fills a gap in providing an accurate apparatus and a complete demonstration of the stemma codicum.
