Book Description:

The first comprehensive study of the Excerpta, a sort of 'Byzantine Google' which repackaged many key works of Greek historiography stretching back into antiquity, and how it reshaped Byzantine court culture in the tenth century. Also tackles wider issues including the history of information management, philological practices and book culture.
