Catalogue Note
first edition. This volume forms part of the Corpus byzantinae historiae (see lot 4415), but it is not an edition of a Byzantine text; it is instead an antiquarian work about the genealogies of Byzantine emperors and other important families and a topographical account of Constantinople.
