Theodore Syncellus: The Homilies ‘On the Robe’ and ‘On the Siege’

‘Michael Whitby has done a great service to scholars in providing these excellent translations, commentaries, and introductions to two important homilies by the early seventh-century syncellus and preacher, Theodore. The translations are fluent and accurate while the notes provide useful background for every aspect of each text [...] Scholars, students and general readers will benefit from this book, which reflects Whitby’s wide-ranging historical and literary background in the field of early Byzantine history.’Mary B. Cunningham, Plekos
