Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume fills the need for a new critical edition and linguistic study of John Kananos' account of the siege of Constantinople in 1422. New research on the manuscripts has produced a new stemma codicum and shown that the oldest witness of this narrative, Vat. gr. 579 (ff. 355r - 364v), was written in Constantinople and belonged to the prolific scribe Phlamules Kontostephanos, who also provided the copy with a title in which the name of John Kananos is mentioned for the first time. The philological approach adopted here explains contradictions among the manuscripts and Kananos' peculiar vernacularisms and reveals a surprisingly realistic and elaborate Greek. The accompanying English translation, a chapter on the language of Kananos, and a complete thesaurus make this volume a valuable contribution to the study of late Byzantine literature.

Paperback, 320 pages, 156 x 234 mm, English text. *New. ISBN 9782503619101. This volume examines the relationship between linguistic usage and the norms that define it within the Greek language. Covering the Imperial Age, Byzantine period, and Renaissance, it draws on a wide range of sources?including literary texts, documentary material, and grammatical treatises?to trace the evolving concept of linguistic correctness. Bringing together specialists in Post-classical and Medieval Greek, the volume investigates how linguistic norms and standards were shaped by their sociocultural and historical contexts. In addition to its exploration of theoretical frameworks for linguistic correctness, the volume addresses key themes such as the interaction between high and low registers in official documents and the contributions of Byzantine grammarians to the development of syntactic and stylistic conventions. Incorporating approaches from (historical) sociolinguistics, the collection underscores the dynamic nature of Greek as it balanced tradition and innovation. Scholars of Greek language and linguistics will find in this volume a valuable resource for understanding the interplay of language, culture, and history across centuries. 0 g.
