Curious thing.

Manasses Chronicle or Chronicle of Manasses (14th century manuscript), is Bulgarian medieval written transcript of the Byzantine writer Constantine Manasses .

Constantine Manasses (Greek: Κωνσταντῖνος Μανασσῆς; c. 1130 - c. 1187) was a Byzantine chronicler who flourished in the 12th century during the reign of Manuel I Komnenos (1143-1180). He was the author of a chronicle or historical synopsis of events from the creation of the world to the end of the reign of Nikephoros Botaneiates (1081), sponsored by Irene Komnene, the emperor's sister-in-law. Unfortunately, the original manuscript is lost.
