Leonis Diaconi Historiae Libri I-X - Recensuerunt Nikolaos M. Panagiotakes et Athanasios Markopoulos

A critical edition of the historical work of Leo the Deacon (latter half of the 10th - early 11th century), which covers the history of Byzantium from 959 to 976 and is in essence our only contemporary source for this period. The edition is accompanied by an introduction and indexes and replaces the first edition of the text by C.B. Hase (1819/1828), which has long been outdated.
