This publication represents the first Russian translation of one of the most important sources on the history of medieval Byzantium, John Skylitzes's "Observations of Histories." Writing in the second half of the 11th century, the author abridged his work by numerous works by 10th- and 11th-century historians, most of which have not survived. Therefore, his overview serves as a primary source for specific periods—primarily the reign of the famous Basil II, whose reign both the Byzantines themselves and modern scholars associate with the golden age of the Byzantine Empire.
