New research on the manuscripts has produced a new stemma codicum and shown that the oldest witness of this narrative, Vat. gr. 579 (ff. 355r - 364v), was written in Constantinople and belonged to the prolific scribe Phlamules Kontostephanos, who also provided the copy with a title in which the name of John Kananos is mentioned for the first time. The philological approach adopted here explains contradictions among the manuscripts and Kananos' peculiar vernacularisms and reveals a surprisingly realistic and elaborate Greek. The accompanying English translation, a chapter on the language of Kananos, and a complete thesaurus make this volume a valuable contribution to the study of late Byzantine literature. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Massimo Cuomo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501510908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501510908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.50d","brand":"Andrea Massimo Cuomo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44124251357439,"sku":"9781501510908","price":141.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89acbf30-419e-4dab-8c53-6878745f5ef7.jpg?v=1687435646","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ioannis-canani-de-constantinopolitana-obsidione-andrea-massimo-cuomo-9781501510908","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
