AB Martyrdom of Nicholas the Younger -- Encomium of Nicholas the Younger / by the Presbyter Achaikos -- Funeral oration for Athanasios, Bishop of Methone / by Peter, Bishop of Argos -- Life of Peter, Bishop of Argos / by Theodore, Bishop of Nicaea -- Life and miracles of Theokletos, Bishop of Lakedaimon -- Life of Theodore of Kythera / by Leo -- Commemoration of Arsenios, Archbishop of Kerkyra.
AB The saints' lives translated in this volume are not among the best known, but they have at least two features that compel broader attention: first, they concern a poorly documented but hotly debated period in the history of medieval Greece, the ninth and early tenth centuries; and, second, as a collected corpus they exhibit a great deal of literary variety, presenting students of hagiography with a compact dossier of texts that feature a range of literary modes and tropes. The texts are individually fairly short and have not been previously translated into English.--
