Joannes Zonaras was a Byzantine historian and theologian who lived during the 12th century. He is famous for his massive work, "Epitome Historiarum," which covers the history of the world from the Creation to the reign of Alexios I Komnenos. The work is especially valuable because it draws on a wide range of sources, many of which are now lost, and it provides a wealth of information on the politics, culture, and society of the Byzantine Empire and its neighbors. Zonaras' "Epitome" was widely read and respected in the Byzantine world and beyond, and it remains an important source for historians today.
