This monograph, first published in 1976 and widely approved by specialists, is reissued with many new supplements.

Included in the book are a Russian translation of G. G. Plethon`s treatise "On the virtues"; unknown texts of T. Methochite; George of Trebizond`s astronomical fragment; letters of Lianoro Lianori and of Demetrius Chalcondyles, and the author`s essay on philological discussion about the authenticity of patristic texts at the Council of Florence.
