| | Nikephoros Kallistos History Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06) |
 | | There is no evidence that Nikephoros intended to write a general ecclesiastical history from the church's inception to his own time. |
 | | Though the earliest books depend heavily on the church historians of the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries, such as Eusebius of Caesarea, Socrates, Sozomenos, Theodoretos, Evagrios Scholastikos, and Theodore the Lector, Krumbacher (1897) has rightly observed that "in matters and topics dear to him, [Nikephoros] was an original and worthy author." |
 | | Of his other writings, Nikephoros's didactic poems became very popular and have survived in many manuscripts. |
