It remains the only preserved Greek-language illustrated chronicle from the Byzantine period.^[4] The chronicle includes 574 miniatures detailing depictions of everyday life in the Byzantine Empire such as boats, literary practices, sieges, and ceremonies,^[1] in "both purely Byzantine and Western styles while also reflecting Islamic elements".^[5]
