What it is

A history of the later empire that turns, in its second half, into a sustained polemic against Palamas by the leading opponent of hesychasm.

Why it lasted

The fullest account of the hesychast controversy from the losing side, by a scholar kept under house arrest for refusing to submit.

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.
