Michael Psellos‘ work (1018‑1078), titled When students did not come to school because it was raining, is one of the minor works of the Byzantine thinker that constitutes an invaluable source of information on teaching, methods used in the educational process and general students‘ life in the 11th century Constantinople. The environment of pupils, the mood present during lessons, as well as the approach of Psellos himself towards his students are unquestionably his main subject of considerations. The philosopher exposes his own engagement in the matters related to education and at the same time he presents himself as a nice, carrying for the souls of his students, pedagogue. ῞Οταν ἔβρεξε καὶ οὐκ ἀνῆλθον οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν σχολήν is actually an incentive to broaden knowledge, a call of an extraordinary pedagogue addressed to his own ‚children‘, asking them to share his love for all the wisdom in the near future.

Gennadios II Scholarios, Patriarch of Constantinople, was an outstanding figure in the 15th century who influenced the religious and political life of the Imperial Capital. Numbered in the literary production of Gennadios is the work entitled Concerning the worship of God first or the evangelical law in summary, written by the patriarch in the year 1458 at the Monastery of the Honourable Forerunner in Serres on Mount Monoikeion. In the present study, prompted by what has been written in the Evangelical Law, we engaged in the selection of quotations from the whole of his literary production, concerning the theme -the righteousness- being discussed in the aforementioned work with the goal of examining, more fully if possible, his teaching and positions on the particular Christian meaning. In a separate chapter of the Evangelical Law, but also sporadically in the aforementioned work as well as in the whole of his work, the patriarch discusses the topic of the virtue of justice in its social as well as spiritual aspects.

The Roman historians Procopius and Agathias recorded the details of Roman diplomacy with two groups of nomadic peoples on the Pontic steppe in the mid-6th century C.E.: the Utigur and Kutrigur Huns. The article focuses on two episodes from these histories: the settlement of 2,000 Kutrigur Huns in the Balkans in 551 C.E., recorded by Procopius, and the infamous raid against Constantinople of the Kutrigur Zabergan in 559 C.E. In both episodes attention is drawn to the motivations of the chieftains who chose to raid the Roman territory, settle within it, or make war on each other at Rome’s behest. The article demonstrates that contrary to the common notion that these raids were most devastating to Rome’s Balkan territories, in reality the effects of Roman diplomacy wreaked far greater havoc on the societal stability of the Kutrigurs and the Utigurs and paved the way for their conquest by the Avars in the following decade.
