The astronomer and historian, Gregpras, became the archivist of the Byzantine emperor Andronikos II Palaiologos (to whom he proposed a calendar reform similar to that adopted by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582), and was involved in the fruitless negotiations of 1333 to unite the Greek and Latin Churches. The thirty-seven books by Gregoras' History overlap with the work by George Pachymeres, and continue the narrative to 1359. This period is also covered in the History by the ex-Emperor John Cantacuzene, and both these authors are also reissued in this series. Volume 2 begins in 1341, with the events following the death of Andronikos III, and ends in 1351, during the troubled reign of John VI Cantacuzene.
