The authors describe the fatal illnesses of three Byzantine emperors, Alexander, Michael IX Palaeologus and Manuel II Palaeologus, who may have died of a stroke. From the texts of Byzantine historians and the indications of chroniclers, it was found that Alexander died of a stroke (possibly cerebral hemorrhage); Michael IX Palaeologus died of what seems to have been the same disease and the the last of these emperors, Manuel II Palaeologus, of hemiplegia. This paper provides the opportunity to see how the non-medical texts of historians and chroniclers adopt and express the scientific Byzantine terminology of the medical writers of the period, which is used differently today.
作者描述了三位拜占庭皇帝——亚历山大、米哈伊尔九世·帕莱奥洛格斯和曼努埃尔二世·帕莱奥洛格斯的致命疾病，他们可能死于中风。从拜占庭历史学家的文本和编年史家的记述中发现，亚历山大死于中风（可能是脑出血）；米哈伊尔九世·帕莱奥洛格斯死于似乎是同一种疾病，而这几位皇帝中的最后一位曼努埃尔二世·帕莱奥洛格斯则死于偏瘫。本文提供了一个契机，来观察历史学家和编年史家的非医学文本如何采用和表达那个时期医学作家的拜占庭科学术语，而这些术语如今的用法已有所不同。
