Georgios Pachymeres between Ethnography and Narrative: Συγγραφικαὶ Ἱστορίαι 3.3–5
Abstract
Pachymeres' description of the Scythians and Ethiopians, opposites in the physiognomic tradition, hints at their strength when combined, and implicitly criticizes imperial policy for allowing their recent combination in Mamluk Egypt.
