The literary paleoclimatic material built in Byzantine historical texts (written in Greek language) remained until recently unexploited -though not neglected- as fieldwork for paleoclimatic research. Documentary sources of the Byzantine period were neglected by the researchers of historical climatology. Consequently, a considerable amount of documentary paleoclimatic data relevant to the Late Holocene climate history of the Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East was neglected from the interdisciplinary paleoclimate research.5 The idea of reconstructing the climate history of Byzantium has attracted the interest of specialists in Byzantine history as early as in the 1980s. Recently, the climate history of the Byzantine Empire (AD 324-1453) has become a topic of modern historical research.
