Still one of the most quoted Byzantine historians, Bury was a professor at Trinity College (Dublin) and later Regius Professor of Modern History in the University of Cambridge. We include his entire series on the history of the Roman Empire, but he wrote on a wide variety of other subjects as well.
The Constitution of the Later Roman Empire. By J. B. Bury. Creighton Memorial Lecture delivered at University College, London, 12 November 1909. Cambridge, 1910.

History of the Later Roman Empire, from the death of Theodosius I. to the death of Justinian (A.D. 395 to A.D. 565). By J. B. Bury. London: Macmillan and Co., 1923. —“The present work does not cover quite half the period which was the subject of my Later Roman Empire, published in 1889 and long out of print, as it is written on a much larger scale. Western affairs have been treated as fully as Eastern, and the exciting story of Justinian’s reconquest of Italy has been told at length.”

History of Greece for Beginners. By J. B. Bury, M.A. London: Macmillan and Co., 1907. —“This short history is an abridgment of my History of Greece (1900), and few changes have been made except those which were rendered necessary by the excisions. The work of abbreviation and revision was carried out by another hand, and it seems to me to have been skilfully done.”
