News on Transylvania in the Byzantine Chronicles from the 15th – 16th Centuries
The most important Byzantine history papers from the 15th-16th centuries, which give information about Transylvania, belong to the chroniclers Doukas (15th century), Laonikos Chalkokondylas (15th century), Kritoboulos of Imbros (15th century), Georgios Sphrantzes (15th century) and Macarios Melissenos also known under the name of Pseudo-Phrantzes (16th century). The news passed by the Byzantine chroniclers regarding Transylvania are generally few but they cover quite varied fields. These register a series of toponyms as well as some information of geographical nature, regarding the administrative organization, the military organization, the internal political situation, the external relations or they are varied news.
