This volume aims to encourage dialogue and collaboration between international scholars by presenting new literary and historical interpretations of the sixth-century writer Procopius of Caesarea, the major historian of Justinian's reign. Although scholarship on Procopius has flourished since 2004, when the last monograph in English on Procopius was published, there has not been a collection of essays on the subject since 2000. Work on Procopius since 2004 has been surveyed by Geoffrey Greatrex in his international bibliography; Peter Sarris has revised the 1966 Penguin Classics translation of, and introduced, Procopius'Secret History (2007); and Anthony Kaldellis has edited, translated and introduced Procopius'Secret History, with related texts (2010), and revised and modernised H.B.

It offers approaches that shed new light on Procopius'texts by comparing them with a variety of relevant textual sources. In particular, the volume pays close attention to the text
