Abstract
Bizans Hükümdarı VII. Konstantinos’un entelektüel faaliyetlerinin temelinde Makedon Hanedanlığının meşruiyetini pekiştirmek yer almaktadır. Bu gaye ile hareket eden Hükümdar, tarihyazımının ilk örneğini ortaya koyması için İoannes Genesios’u vazifelendirdi. İoannes Genesios, Theophanes Kroniği’ndeki anlatımın son bulduğu 813 senesinden 886 senesine kadar süren hadiseleri içeren bir tarih eseri kaleme aldı. VII. Konstantinos devrinde oluşturulan ilk tarih eseri olması nedeniyle önem taşıyan bu eser, bazı hata ve noksanlıklar da içermektedir. Her hâlükârda eser, dokuzuncu yüzyılda Bizans İmparatorluğu’nun bilhassa Bulgarlar olmak üzere Türkler ile yoğun irtibatını gözler önüne sermeyi başarmıştır. Genesios’un eserinin bu zaviyeden ele alınıp çağdaşı Theophanes Continuatus başlıklı anonim eserdeki bilgilerle kıyaslandığı takdirde X. yüzyılda Bizans-Türk ilişkilerine dair tutarlı bilgilere erişilebileceğini öngörüyoruz. Bu amaçla öncelikle Genesios ve eserindeki Türkler ilgili bölümlerin tanıtılması faydalı olacaktır.

Abstract
Strengthening legitimacy of Macedonian Dynasty is underlying intellectual activities of Byzantine Emperor Konstantinos VII. Emperor getting into action with this purpose first appointed Genesios for producing first epitome of historiography. Genesios wrote historical work including incidents from 813 when Theophanes Khronographia’s discourse came to a end to 813. This work, having a value owing to being first historical work in era of Emperor Konstantinos VII, involves some errors and deficiencies. However this work succeeded in displaying intensive connections between Byzantine Empire and Turks especially Bulgars in ninth century. If Genesios’s work is compared with informations of its contemporary, anonymous book whose title ise Theophanes Continuatus from this point of view, we project that consistent informations about connections of Byzantine-Turk could be reached. First of all, for this purpose it will be useful to introduce Genesios and chapters about Turks in his work.
