René, of course I know the Byzantine chronicle of the Skylitzes manuscript. It is one of the jewels of the National Library of Spain. In 2024, the manuscript was unbound for restoration, and 24 bifolios were displayed in a room.
Note that the "lady in a tube" you mention is actually the baptism of a king in a baptismal font, since in the Greek Orthodox rite baptism is done by immersion.
