<p>[QUOTE="+VGO.DVCKS, post: 7679468, member: 110504"][USER=112417]@manny9655[/USER], I followed up on your recommendation of Vasiliev. Found out that the 2nd, revised translation went back to 1958, only to be republished by the same, U of Wisconsin Press in 2012! Kind of amazing, not only to Vasiliev's credit, but also as a symptom of the paucity of academic histories of Byzantium in English.</p><p>...Then I found out that Vol. 2 begins with the Komneni. I could've wished it began a century and change earlier. But for my own typical, overwhelmingly 'High Medieval,' western-eurocentric purposes --especially at 450+ pages-- that was Just Fine. And at a certain venue, copies of that volume start (paper, with clean text) at $7.00 and change. </p><p>Better believe I nabbed one! ...I've got the three volumes of Norwich. For 'popular history' (a distinction which, for all its ambiguity, remains valid), he's among the very best. But, well, it just ain't the same as something with some annotative /documentational meat on its bones.</p><p>Just, from here, Massive thanks for your recommendation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
