Malalas, Iōannēs
[Born] circa 491. Antioch?
Died around 578. Byzantine chronicler. Little is known about his life, but his main work, the Chronographia, consists of 18 volumes and is typical of Christian and Byzantine chronicles. Its writing style and terminology are suitable for the general public, and it begins with the creation of the world and includes many ancient myths and anecdotes. It is believed to cover the period up to 565 or 574. However, the extant manuscripts end in 563. As a historical source, the descriptions in the first half of the 6th century are important, but their influence was great on later Byzantine, Slavic, and Western European chroniclers. It is known that there were already Slavic translations in manuscripts from the 10th and 11th centuries.

ビザンチンの年代記作者。生涯についてはほとんど知られていないが,主著『年代記』 Chronographiaは 18巻を数え,キリスト教的・ビザンチン的年代記の典型的なもの。文体と用語は一般大衆向きで,天地創造より始り,古代の神話,逸話などを多く取入れ,565年ないしは 574年までを扱ったものと思われる。ただし現存する写本は 563年で断絶している。歴史史料としては6世紀前半の記述が重要であるが,その影響はのちのビザンチン,スラブ,西ヨーロッパの年代記作者たちに大きな影響を与えた。 10~11世紀の写本ですでにスラブ語訳があったことが知られている。
