Abstract

The chief aim of this paper is to clarify some points relevant to a new edition of the so-called Version B of the Chronicle of Symeon the Logothete. The genealogical relationship between Symeon’s chronicle, Version B, and the so-called Theophanes continuatus (the ms. Vat. gr. 167) is analysed, and the different stages in the development of the tradition are described, particularly in terms of how consecutive layers of text are added. Furthermore, contamination between Version B/Theophanes continuatus and the Chronicle of Pseudo-Symeon is discussed.

Keywords: Symeon the Logothete, Logothete Chronicle, Theophanes continuatus, Byzantine Manuscripts, Text Transmission
