    Abstract

    Late Byzantine author, scribe, and scholar. He held the position of governor of Imbros in the period – ca. His main work is a historiographical narrative of the years – (Ξυγγραφὴ Ἱστοριῶν); minor works include a prayer to Christ and verses to Saint Augustine. Imitation (mimesis) of ancient writers such as Thucydides, Herodotus, Xenophon, Flavius Josephus, Aelius Aristides, and Arrian is combined with a choice of compromise with and accommodation to Ottoman rule and elaborated through a new synthesis of notions regarding history and its evolution.
