Leontios Machairas
Leontios Machairas or Makhairas (Greek: Λεόντιος Μαχαιράς, French: Léonce Machéras; about 1380 - after 1432) was a historian in medieval Cyprus.
The main source of information on him is his chronicle, written in the medieval
Battle of Choirokoitia.[3]
The text as we have it became abbreviated after 1432, and historians believe the remainder of the text is a subsequent accretion.
There are manuscripts of the Chronicle at the
Amadi and Diomede Strambaldi published by Rene de Mas Latrie in Paris
in 1891 were translations of Machairas's chronicle into Italian.
The chronicle was published again by
Richard M. Dawkins with an English translation as "Recital Concerning the Sweet Land of Cyprus Entitled 'Chronicle' - The chronicle of Makhairas" in Oxford in 1932.[5]
The Ravenna manuscript has not yet been incorporated into a critical edition.
