Description - The Life of the Patriarch Tarasios by Ignatios Deacon (BHG1698): Introduction, Edition, Translation and Commentary by Stephanos Efthymiadis
The patriarch Tarasios holds a key position in the ending of the first period of Iconoclasm in Byzantium, with the seventh Oecumenical Council at Nicaea in 787. His biography forms a key source for the history and culture of the Byzantine world in the 8th and 9th centuries. This book provides a full introduction, English translation and detailed commentary and indexes for this document. The introduction first places the text within the framework of other patriarchal biographies composed in the period 850-950. It then looks at Tarasios himself, as layman, patriarch and saint, and provides a biographical sketch of the author of the "Life", Ignatios the Deacon, together with a discussion of the date and reasons for the work's composition.
