MONK IGEORGIOS MONACHOS], called Hamartolos (See also:Greek for " sinner "), See also:Byzantine chronicler, lived during the reign of See also:Michael III. (842—867). He wrote a See also:Chronicle of events, in four books, from the creation of the See also:world to the See also:death of the See also:emperor See also:Theophilus (842), whose widow See also:Theodora restored the See also:worship of images in the same See also:year. It is the only See also:original contemporary authority for the years 813—842, and therefore so far indispensable; the See also:early parts of the See also:work are merely a compilation. In the introduction the author disclaims all pre-tensions to See also:literary See also:style, and declares that his only See also:object was to relate such things as were " useful and necessary " with a strict adherence to truth. Far too much See also:attention, however, is devoted to religious matters; the See also:iconoclasts are fiercely attacked, and the whole is interlarded with theological discussions and quotations from the fathers. The work was very popular, and See also:translations of it served as See also:models for See also:Slavonic writers. The See also:MSS. give a continuation down to 948, the author of which is indicated simply as " the See also:logothete," by whom probably Symeon Metaphrastes (second See also:half of the loth See also:century) is meant. In this religious questions are relegated to the background, more attention is devoted to See also:political See also:history, and the See also:language is more popular. Still further continuations of little value go down to 1143. The large circulation of the work and its subsequent reissues, with alterations and interpolations, make it very difficult to arrive at the original See also:text.
