Ioannes VI. Kantakuzenos: Historia.Completion of a critical edition for the Corpus Fontium Historiae Byzantinae

历史上的Ioannes VI。Kantakuzenos是唯一一部由前统治皇帝退位后撰写的拜占庭史学作品。在这方面，它也被研究作为一个自传，以及在他统治期间的一些致命的决定道歉。坎塔库泽诺斯在1360年代以笔名赫里斯托杜洛斯（Christodulos）撰写了他的政治生活史，他亲自监督了至少四份完整保存的手稿的进展，这些手稿可能是由他手下的几个抄写员在伯罗奔尼撒半岛的密斯特拉斯制作的。在其传统的过程中，工作经历了几个结构性的变化-附加的章节，标题插入和四本书的结构介绍了这似乎不是原来打算由作者。在广泛的初步研究的基础上，（描述和整理手稿，生成一个stemma codicum，组成序言的生活和作品的作者，手稿和自己的历史，结构的发展，文本以及以前的版本和翻译），这是该项目的目的是有效地完成一个关键版本的这一重要的史学工作，通过这样做，重建其原始形状的发展和编辑的作者自己。

The Historia by Ioannes VI. Kantakuzenos is the only Byzantine historiographical work that was composed by a formerly ruling emperor after his abdication. In this respect, it was also studied as an autobiography as well as an apology for some fatal decisions during his reign. Kantakuzenos wrote the history of his political life in the 1360ies under the pseudonym Christodulos, and he personally supervised the progress of at least four completely preserved manuscripts of the work which were probably produced on the Peloponnese in Mystras by a few copyists at his service. In the course of its tradition, the work underwent several structural alterations – additional chapters were attached, headings were inserted and a four-book structure was introduced which seems not to have been originally intended by the author. On the basis of extensive preliminary studies (description and collation of the manuscripts, generation of a stemma codicum, composition of the Prolegomena on life and works of the author, the manuscripts and their own history, the structural development of the text as well as former editions and translations), it is the aim of the project to efficiently complete a critical edition of this important historigraphical work and, by doing so, to reconstruct its original shape developed and redacted by the author himself.
