Abstract

The question of authorship of Porphyrogenitus' works, despite the inexhaustible exploratory efforts, remains incompletely elucidated and is the subject of controversy in scientific circles, mostly because of six different levels of style reflected in his works. Emphasizing the study of stylistic features of Constantine's writings imposed as a step to possible solution of this issue. The corpus of this study consists of two of the emperor's four largest prose works, Vita Basilii and De thematibus. Previous researches characterized them as the most similar to each other because they are both written in archaic Greek language and follow the rules of classical Greek grammar, but noticeable stylistic differences between them gave the impetus for deeper study and comparision of their linguistic and stylistic features, which is at the same time the aim of this work.
