PACHYMERES, G. and BEKKER, I., Georgii Pachymeris de Michaele et Andronico Palaeologis libri tredecim: Volume 1. Cambridge University Press, 2012. 784p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Library Collection - Medieval History. This history of the reigns of the first two emperors of the Palaiologos Dynasty by George Pachymeres (1242–1310) was edited by the German scholar Immanuel Bekker (1785–1871) on the basis of the work of the French Jesuit, Pierre Poussines (1609–86), and published in two volumes in 1835.

Michael Palaiologos (1223–82) became leader of the armies in Nicaea in 1259; two years later he had driven the Latins from Constantinople and was crowned Emperor Michael VIII, with his two-year-old son Andronikos (1259–1332) as his co-ruler and heir. Pachymeres also wrote on music, rhetoric and philosophy, but is best remembered for this history of his own times. Volume 1 describes the life and reign of Michael Palaiologos.

PACKER, J. W., The Acts of the Apostles. Cambridge University Press, 1966. 244p. Paperback. Series: Cambridge Bible Commentaries on the New Testament. This is a series of commentaries on the New English Bible designed for use in schools and training colleges, and for the layman. It replaces the old Cambridge Bible for Schools. Each volume will comment on one book, or two or three short books, of the Bible, beginning with the New Testament, already published. In each the text will be given in full. Sections of text and commentary alternate, so that the reader does not have to keep two books open, or turn from one part of the book to the other, or refer to a commentary in small type at the foot of the page. Great care is being taken to see that the commentary is suitable to the student and the layman: there is no Greek or Hebrew, and no strings of biblical references, but the commentary does convey the latest and best scholarship. The general editors all have experience of teaching or examining in school and working with adults. It is hoped to have the series complete in a few years. There will also be a general introductory volume, Understanding the New Testament, and a volume of maps and plates, The New Testament Illustrated. (Publisher's information). € 46.11 (New) (MD)
