The study is a result of a concerted effort by a group of scholars and graduate students of the University of London working Seminar on Editing Byzantine Texts. Monumenta Peloponnesiaca.

A collection of 320 fully annotated documents in Latin, Italian and Greek, drawn from the archives of Dubrovnik, Florence, Malta, Paris, the Vatican and Venice, the majority of which are previously unpublished.

Most studies of emigration from Constantinople and Greece in Western Europe during this period have focused on the scholars who contributed so much to the study of Greek during the Italian Renaissance. This original investigation reveals that the emigrants also included physicians, shipbuilders, artists and other skilled craftsmen, and argues that the readiness of western regimes to employ them undermines traditional assumptions about Byzantium's cultural and technological backwardness in the century before the fall of Constantinople. The Journals and Letters of George Finlay, edited by Joan M. Hussey, 2 vols. (Camberley, 1995), vol. 1: 490 pp., vol. 2: 457 pp., 240x165 mm, index, ISBN 18 8713288 108 1. Hardback. Price: £95 (2 vols.) The journals and selected correspondence of the distinguished nineteenth-century Scottish scholar, historian, traveller, political commentator and philhellene. His writings give a vivid picture of the problems in travelling during the nineteenth century, as well as a general view into the day-to-day life of the people of Greece, Turkey, England and other western European countries. It is an invaluable source to topographers, archaeologists and historians of Greece, the European Powers and the Ottoman Empire. Published in two volumes, it is richly illustrated with over 130 of Finlay's own sketches. Byzantine Women, by J. Chrysostomides (Camberley, 1993). 20 pp., 210x145 mm. Paperback. ISBN 1 871328 09 8. Price: £4. Originally a lecture delivered to the Lykeion tōn Hellēnidōn in London, this short study examines Byzantine women from all walks of life, from empresses to prostitutes, who surface in contemporary records. The majority can only be known as a mass, but now and then a few individuals emerge to assert their identity. Kathēgētria: Essays presented to Joan Hussey on her 80th birthday, edited by J. Chrysostomides (Camberley, 1988). 543 pp., 242x170 mm, illustrations: 1 B/W, 2 drawings, index. Hardback. ISBN 1 871328 00 4. Price: £45.
