John Exarch’s literary work includes a number of translations of medieval Byzantine authors, the most important of which is the translation of ''On Orthodox Christianity'' by Byzantine theologian John Of Damascus (ca. 895 ). He is also the author of several original works and compilations, the most important whereof is the compilation ''Шестоднев'' (''Shestodnev''). The compilation includes parts of the works of several Byzantine authors, most notably Basilius the Great, as well as original parts which give valuable first-hand evidence about the Bulgarian Empire under Simeon I ( 893 – 927 ). John Exarch describes the royal palace and the Bulgarian ruler that includes information about his attire, the boyars, the social stratification of the Bulgarian society and like matters. SEE ALSO |
