Translated Texts for Historians

300–800 AD is the time of late antiquity and the early middle ages: the

transformation of the classical world, the beginnings of Europe and of Islam,

and the evolution of Byzantium. TTH makes available sources translated

from Greek, Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Arabic, Georgian, Gothic and Armenian.

Each volume provides an expert scholarly translation, with an introduction

setting texts and authors in context, and with notes on content, interpretation

and debates.
