The Chronicle of Logothete covers the period from the Creation of the World to the burial of
emperor Romanos I Lekapenos in the summer of 948 AD. If we deduce a medieval text's
importance and success from the number of extant manuscripts, this work must score highly.
While some medievalchronicles have come down to us in only one manuscript, about thirty
manuscripts transmit the Chronicle of the Logothete in its main form, and there are also
manuscripts containing different kinds of elaborated versions of the text. Also, the chronicle was
translated into Old Slavonic at leasttwice. In spite of the work's popularity, the chronicler himself
remains obscure. It has been suggested that this could be Symeon Metaphrastes, an illustrious
Byzantine literate who collected and edited, or wrote, Saints' Lives. However, it is fairly certain
only the final compilation of the textwas made in the second half of the 10th century, which reveals
a pro-Lekapenian bias and an antipathy towards the Macedonian dynasty. This volume is based
on the translator's 2006 edition of the text and constitutes the first translation ever into English.
