About the Book

English summary: James Howard-Johnston, one of the best experts on East Roman-Byzantine historiography, gives and explains in the study submitted here, the revised and expanded Kiel Felix Jacoby Lecture of 2012, his view of the foundations, evolutionary conditions, historical contexts and characteristics as well as the reception of Byzantine historical texts from their beginnings to the conquest of Constantinople in 1453. Based on most recent historical and literary research, to which he himself has contributed considerably, the author is able to elucidate the diversity and uniqueness, but also the similarities and (internal) dependencies of the Byzantine historical tradition. German description: James Howard-Johnston, einer der besten Kenner ostromisch-byzantinischer Historiographie, gibt und erlautert in der hier vorgelegten Studie, der uberarbeiteten und erweiterten Kieler Felix-Jacoby-Vorlesung aus dem Jahre 2012, seine Sicht der Voraussetzungen, Entstehungsbedingungen, historischen Kontexte und Charakteristika sowie der Rezeption byzantinischer historischer Texte von den Anfangen bis zur Eroberung Konstantinopels 1453. Auf der Grundlage der neuesten historischen und literaturgeschichtlichen Forschung, zu der er selbst nicht unwesentlich beigetragen hat, werden die Vielfalt und Einzigartigkeit, aber auch die Gemeinsamkeiten und (internen) Abhangigkeiten der byzantinisch-historischen Tradition sichtbar.
