Note all'opera storica di Niceta Coniata (pp. 4, 83-222, 86 van Dieten).

This paper deals with a number of textual and exegetical problems in books 1-8 of Nicetas Choniates' Xpovᶥκὴ δᶥήγησᶥς. The author's chief intention is to detect neglected literary sources, to define more thoroughly the exact meaning of some words and phrases, to shed light on some res Byzantinae (in matters of history, geography, Realien etc.), and to discuss some textual problems posed -- or left open -- by van Dieten's edition.
