History of the Wars by the Byzantine historian Procopius (late fifth century to after 558 CE) consists largely of sixth century CE military history, with much information about peoples, places, and special events. Powerful description complements careful narration. Procopius is just to the empire s enemies and boldly criticises emperor Justinian.
Procopius, born at Caesarea in Palestine late in the 5th century, became a lawyer. In 527 CE he was made legal adviser and secretary of Belisarius, commander against the Persians, and went with Belisarius again in 533 against the Vandals and in 535 against the Ostrogoths. Sometime after 540 he returned to Constantinople. He may have been that Procopius who was prefect of Constantinople in 562, but the date of his death (after 558) is unknown.
Procopius’s History of the Wars in 8 books recounts the Persian Wars of emperors Justinus and Justinian down to 550 (2 books); the Vandalic War and after-events in Africa 532–546 (2 books); the Gothic War against the Ostrogoths in Sicily and Italy 536–552 (3 books); and a sketch of events to 554 (1 book). The whole consists largely of military history, with much information about peoples and places as well, and about special events. He was a diligent, careful, judicious narrator of facts and developments and shows good powers of description. He is just to the empire’s enemies and boldly criticises emperor Justinian. Other works by Procopius are the Anecdota or Secret History—vehement attacks on Justinian, Theodora, and others; and The Buildings of Justinian (down to 558 CE) including roads and bridges as well as churches, forts, hospitals, and so on in various parts of the empire.
要论6世纪拜占庭最杰出的史家,非普罗柯比莫属。为何这么高的荣誉要归于他?看看他丰厚的著述:《战史》、《论建筑》、《秘史》。《战史》记述了作者亲历的、由拜占庭最伟大的皇帝之一查士丁尼大帝组织的、由杰出的将领贝利萨留领导的再整服地中海的伟业。《论建筑》描写了6世...
評分首先必须要为本书鸣不平,评论里面有说看得无聊的和一头雾水的,那应该是因为他们对这方面的内容不了解。确实,拜占庭研究应该是国内最冷门的几个方向之一了。我之所以本科毕业论文写这个方向也确实可能只是内心深处的叛逆思想作怪。而写完毕业论文我也只是对查士丁尼一...
評分名字用的都是直接音译,和习见的译法也不大一样。常常看到事迹内容才明白是谁,后来发现找个英文版对着看才方便些 比如一上来看到埃弗撒利塔伊人,也不知这是哪位,后面看到殉死那段觉得好眼熟,找本英文的一对,Ephthalitae,其实就是嚈哒 其他比如 阿尔撒奇达伊族:line of...
