What it is

Correspondence and a long series of answers to theological and literary questions, including a famous letter of advice to the newly converted prince of Bulgaria.

Why it lasted

The intellectual range of the ninth-century Byzantine revival in one collection, from textual criticism to the duties of a Christian ruler.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
