This is a short document, chronicling the death of the 3rd to last Eastern Roman Emperor, Manuel II. He laments that the Emperor died too soon and grants a litany of his accomplishment during his reign over the fragile fragments of the Roman state. Bessarion preserves this text in Latin, as the future Imperial administration under his son John VIII, would look to the Papacy and the Italian states for political protection.
