Pseudo-Simeon (orPseudo-Symeon Magistros) is the conventional name given to the anonymous author of a late 10th-centuryByzantineGreek chronicle which survives in a singlecodex, Parisinus Graecus 1712, copied in the 12th or 13th century.[1]
It is auniversal history from thecreation of the world to the year 963.[2] His main sources areTheophanes the Confessor andSymeon Logothete.[1] For the years up to 812, he uses Theophanes,George Hamartolos,John Malalas andJohn of Antioch.[1][2] For later years, he uses parts ofJoseph Genesius and the anonymousChronicle on Leo the Armenian.[2] He made use of a lostanti-Photian tract that was also used byNiketas David Paphlagon.[1]
George Kedrenos used Pseudo-Simeon as the model for his own chronicle up to the year 812.[2] In the 14th century, the chronicle was translated intoSlavonic.[1]
