Rezensionen

"Banchich is to be commended for a very valuable contribution ... his rendering of Peter's fragments into English has been shaped in such a way that it will not only fill the existing gap of an English translation of all early Byzantine fragmentary historians, but will permit English-speaking scholars to advance their research with an enigmatic set of fragments whose final provenance and nature has still a long way to go before it is finally solved."

- Panagiotis Antonopoulos, University of Ioannina (Greece), in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"This is a very welcome book, enabling a wider readership to gain easy familiarity with Petrus' work. This is by no means a minor feat, bearing in mind the fragmentary nature of the original Greek and the still ongoing debate regarding Petrus' merits as a historian."

- Kai Juntunen, University of Helsinki, in Arctos
