ISBN10: 1889758876, ISBN13: 9781889758879, [publisher: Evolution Publ, Merchantville/N. J] Hardcover 8°. (Christian Roman Empire Ser. 4.). XII, 216 S.; OPbd mit Rücken- u. Deckeltitel; 438 gr. Sprache: Englisch, Ein sehr gutes Exemplar.- Johannes von Nikiu war ein ägyptischer Bischof des 7. Jahrhunderts; er schrieb bald nach der Eroberung Ägyptens durch die Araber 642 eine Weltchronik. Unklar ist, ob diese in griechischer Sprache oder (so die Mehrheitsmeinung) auf Koptisch abgefasst war, denn sie liegt heute nur noch in einer äthiopischen Übersetzung vor, die ihrerseits 1602 nach einer arabischen Version angefertigt wurde. Johannes verfasste das Werk, das die Ereignisse bis 643 behandelt, offenbar als junger Mann und wohl noch vor seinem Eintritt in den Klerus. Die Chronik gehört formal zu den letzten Werken der spätantiken Geschichtsschreibung und befasst sich vor allem mit der griechischen und römischen Geschichte (aus ägyptisch-christlicher Sicht). 650 Gramm.

ISBN10: 1889758876, ISBN13: 9781889758879, [publisher: Evolution Pub & Manufacturing] Hardcover 220 Seiten Fresh and clean hardcover copy in good condition. Frisches und sauberes Hardcover-Exemplar in gutem Zustand. "The Chronicle of John, Bishop of Nikiu is an important source for the history of the turbulent 6th and 7th centuries ad. Focusing on Egypt, where he was a Monophysite bishop, John is the only near-contemporary historian to describe in detail the conquest of this formerly Roman province by the Muslims under Amr. John is also one of our best sources for the rebellion of Heraclius against the Emperor Phocas in ad 610 and his Chronicle includes numerous unique points of Egyptian folklore and local history. He focuses on the religious turmoil in Alexandria and comments on the quarrels and frequent violence that erupted between the Monophysite and Chalcedonian factions. As a Monophysite himself, John offers a rarely seen glimpse into the controversy that was still simmering even 250 years after the Council of Chalcedon. Out of print for nearly a century, this volume represents the only English translation of the work, made from an Ethiopië manuscript. Despite several lacunae and some obvious corruptions noted by the translator, this edition of The Chronicle of John, Bishop of Nikiu offers a wealth of insight into a very poorly understood era."
