Laonikos Chalkokondyles
Λαόνικος Χαλκοκονδύλης
aka Laonicus Chalcocondyles
Laonikos Chalkokondyles, also latinized as Laonicus Chalcocondyles, was a late medieval Greek historian from Athens. He is known for his Ἀποδείξεις Ἱστοριῶν in ten books, which record the last 150 years of the Byzantine Empire. According to historian Angeliki Laiou, Chalkokondyles was the first to use Byzantine to refer to the state as he advocated a neo-Hellenic identity of the Romans.Wikipedia →
