En este artículo analizamos las referencias a obras históricas en la Biblioteca de Focio, dos veces patriarca de Constantinopla, autor polígrafo del siglo IX de nuestra era. En nuestro análisis veremos cómo los gustos historiográficos de Focio –y por extensión de todos los estudiosos bizantinos de la época- se decantaban por las historias escritas de manera lineal, sin demasiados datos, con una narrativa fundamentalmente descriptiva. También conoceremos que en esa época se podían encontrar aún copias completas de autores como Diodoro de Sicilia. Focio se presenta así, como un autor de conocimiento inexcusable tanto para los historiadores de la Antigüedad, comopara los interesados en la historiografía antigua. In this paper, we study the references to historical books present in the Bibliotheca of Photius, twice a Patriarch of Constantinople, and a prolific writer of the 9th Century. In our study, we shall see the historiographic interests of Photius, mainly the lineal writing with not too many facts in them and a descriptive narrative. We shall know that in his age, books already unknown for us were at disposal, at least in Constantinople. Photius is an author to be known and read for both, historians and people interested in writing of History.
