In this excellent volume published in the Dumbarton Oaks Medieval Library (DOML) series, Floris Bernard and Christopher Livanos have now made widely accessible Mauropous' gifts to modern "friends of words," along with the collection of poems by another eleventh-century Byzantine author, Christopher of Mytilene (also born ca. 1000). The volume presents a revised edition and facing English translation of the poems of these two prominent authors, who flourished around the middle of the eleventh century.
