Greek Text of the Alexiad?

Post by jcabraham »

(Cross posting this from Open Forum)

Does anybody know of an online or hard-copy text of the Alexiad of Anna Comnenus?

Thanks,

Ῥήθεντα ὑπὸ τοῦ μεγάλου ῥήτορος Δονάλδου Τρᾶμπ·

"Ἡμᾶς μὲν δεῖ τεῖχος οἰκοδομῆσαι, αὐτὸ δὲ ταχέως οἰκοδομηθῆναι."
"Συνίημι τοὺς λόγους. Ἔχω δὴ τοὺς ἀρίστους λόγους."
"Ὀλίγόν μοι ἐδανείσεν ὁ πατήρ, ἑκατομύριον δολάρια."
"Μοι δὲ ἀρέσκουσι οἱ μὴ ζωγρηθέντες."

I second this. It's well nigh impossible finding digital editions of Byzantine texts. I got myself a discounted edition of Psellos' Chronicles a few months back, paying more than I wanted but at least knowing I would have access to it. The Dumberton Oaks Medieval Library has been doing a noble and consistent, but, for our impatient θυμοί, way too slow a job.

See also the Corpus Scriptorum Historiae Byzantinae for another Greek-Latin edition :

As for as hard copies are concerned, there is a Greek-French edition published by the Belles Lettres :

Reinsch's edition is by far the best.
