Gioi,
If you are looking for Byzantine sources in translation there is a great preliminary list prepared by Paul Halsall in 1997:
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/byzantium/alltexts.html
See Byzantine historiography here:
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/byzantiu ... torio.html
His Byzantine sources on the web is a little dated but a great place to start:
http://www.fordham.edu/Halsall/byzantium/
For readabilty start with John Julius Norwich's material - Byzantium: The Early Centuries, Byzantium: The Apogee and Byzantium: The Decline and Fall; A Short History of Byzantium;- panoramic but a good introduction.
Thats just for starters
Cheers
