Photius Collection (3 volumes)

Description

The Lexicon of Photius – A Monument of Byzantine Scholarly Tradition.

The Lexicon of Photius is an invaluable treasure of Byzantine philology and the spiritual renaissance of the 9th century. Photius, one of the most influential and multifaceted figures of his time, distinguished himself as a great scholar of classical Greek and patristic literature, while also serving as the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.

His work is not merely a lexicon; it is the fruit of an entire intellectual movement that became known as the ‘Second Hellenism’ — an effort to revive and preserve ancient Greek learning during the years of the Eastern Roman Empire

The series brings together the complete lexicographical work of Photius, documented on the basis of the surviving manuscripts and enriched with commentary and an introduction. It is a valuable tool for philologists, Byzantinists, theologians, and scholars of the Greek language and literature.
