Anmerkungen:
This edition previously issued in print: 2016.
'This volume consists of two uneven parts: a number of papers presented at a workshop dedicated to the correpondence of Michael Psellos, held in Oxford on 6-7 November 2010, and the summaries of all the letters of Michael Psellos. The second part is obviously the most important one ... In an ideal world this volume would have come out after, not before Stratis Papaioannou's forthcoming edition of the letters of Psellos."--Page v.
