This volume - the first project of its kind in the field - collates c. 1200 biographical entries on Greek sophists and rhetors who flourished in the Roman Empire from the first to the seventh century AD. Ancient Greek sophists, the masters of speech and teachers of rhetoric, constituted one of the most important and interesting intellectual circles of the ancient world. The prosopography provides comprehensive information on sophists and their activities, using abundant and varied source material such as literary texts (including those of the rhetors themselves) and papyrological, epigraphic, and numismatic evidence. Each entry provides data (where available) on sources in which the person is attested, biographical details, career, and rhetorical activity. This book constitutes a basis and a tool for subsequent in-depth studies on the Greek Sophistic movement, as well as a useful reference book for students and all those interested in the culture of the ancient world.

Cet ouvrage comporte deux études prosopographiques. L'une est consacrée à trois familles byzantines, les Bourtzai, les Brachamioi et les Dalassènoi, qui ont pour trait commun d'avoir été en relations durables avec le duché d'Antioche. L'auteur, Jean- Claude Cheynet, utilise l'indispensable apport de la sigillographie pour saisir le rôle politique et social de ce groupe. L'autre étude renouvelle nos connaissances sur la généalogie des premiers Paléologues. Avant même d'accéder à l'Empire, les Paléologues avaient su parvenir au premier rang de l'aristocratie en contractant des alliances avec les dynasties impériales précédentes, ce qui favorisa leur réussite ultérieure. Tel est l'objet de l'étude de Jean- François Vannier.
