Orationes

The edition will contain all the prose works of Theodore Metochites (XIV c.) contained in MS Vindobonensis phil. gr. 95. All the texts are rhetorical devoted to various subjects: except for the encomia for various saints, Metochites composed several treatises dealing with matters of secular education and some works refuting the works of his opponent, Nicephorus Choumnos. He also composed two orations for the emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos.
