About this ebook
This work is the surviving remnant of the eulogy for Simeon, a distinguished scholar and churchman from Constantinople, celebrated for his eloquence, wisdom, and moral integrity. The author, Michael Pseullos, struggles to find appropriate words to honor him, emphasizing how Simeon's virtues elevated the status of his great city. From a young age, he demonstrated exceptional abilities, dedicating himself to the study of classical philosophy and rhetoric. By harmonizing thought and expression, he became a beacon of knowledge and virtue within the empire, illuminating the world around him. Simeon's noble lineage and wealth did not deter him from pursuing wisdom, distinguishing him from others who misused their gifts.
