The (English: "Corpus of Byzantine History Sources") or CFHB is an international project that aims to collect, edit, and provide textual criticism on historical sources from the time of the Byzantine Empire (4th–15th centuries AD). Its purpose is to make the works of Byzantine authors, especially those that had previously been unedited, available to modern research in an updated form. The project was launched at the 13th International Congress of Byzantine Studies in Oxford in 1966, and is under the auspices of the International Association of Byzantine Studies (AIEB) and its national branches.
Publication series Each volume contains comments on the author, the surviving manuscripts as well as a translated and annotated version of the text. The original text is also frequently included, including facsimiles. The CFHB volumes are distinguished, according to their location of publication, in national series:
