He composed the sole theoretical work on friendship surviving from Byzantium, wrote philosophy with verve and humour, and was perhaps the most passionate advocate of the idea of a communal Hellenic identity in the Middle Ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePolitics, Philosophy, and Humor at the Byzantine Court\u003c\/em\u003e represents the first translation into English of eight works by Laskaris. An introduction and annotations to the translations orient the reader and contextualise these fascinating pieces.
