| Opplysninger | 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.. - 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.--
