Photius was a ninth-century patriarch of Constantinople who compiled summaries of 280 books he had read, known at the Bibliotheca. It deals with Attic, Hellenistic, Roman imperial and Byzantine sources, about half of which are now lost. Here Nigel Wilson presents an annotated edition in translation of a wide selection from these book reviews, with the aim of revealing the breadth of Photius' interests.

This lexicon, authored by the renowned Byzantine scholar Photios I (ca. 820-891), was a comprehensive and practical dictionary and encylopedia. This edition of the work includes for the first timea significant text source that was recently discovered. Thisis an indispensible reference for Hellenists, Byzantinists, historians, and theologists. A fourth volume, slated to be released around 2014, will conclude the edition.
