Note 012
Villehardouin (No. 159, 160, 173 - 177) and
Nicetas (p. 387 - 394) describe the expedition into Greece
of the marquis Boniface. The Choniate might derive his
information from his brother Michael, archbishop of Athens,
whom he paints as an orator, a statesman, and a saint. His
encomium of Athens, and the description of Tempe, should be
published from the Bodleian MS. of Nicetas, (Fabric.
Bibliot. Graec. tom. vi. p. 405,) and would have deserved
Mr. Harris's inquiries.]
