We wish to thank all those who helped us to collect the diverse material and those who encouraged us to complete and publish this work. Monsignore P. Canart of the Apostolic Library of the Vatican for sending us copies of the Vatican manuscripts; Professors A. Carlini and A. DiGiacomo for sending us a copy of the manuscript from Florence. Lively discussions with Professors G. Savvidy and K. Zioutas concerning the physical ideas and their physical significance are gratefully acknowledged. We thank Dr. M. Dominik for helping us with the programs in the computer and Professors

G. Parassoglou and I. Stephanis for their remarks which helped us decipher difficult sections of the Byzantine text. One of us (EA.P.) thanks J. and S. Fry for correspondence concerning Byzantine scholars and C. Quigg for pointing out ref. 47. Last but not least, we thank Mrs. S.V. Paschos for repeated proof-readings and Mrs. S. Laurent for her infinite patience in preparing and improving the text of the book.
