Overview

Biblioteca, also known as Myriobiblon, is a massive collection of book reviews and excerpts compiled by Photios I, Patriarch of Constantinople, in the 9th century. This invaluable work preserves summaries and assessments of numerous classical and Byzantine texts, many of which are now lost. Photios's insights offer a unique window into the literary landscape of his time, covering a vast range of subjects, including history, philosophy, rhetoric, and theology. This edition, presented in Italian, provides access to Photios's critical analyses, making it an essential resource for scholars and anyone interested in the preservation and transmission of ancient knowledge. The Biblioteca stands as a testament to the enduring importance of classical learning and its influence on subsequent generations.
