The paper offers a critical edition and translation of six hitherto unedited and practically unknown essays by Theodore II Laskaris (1254–1258), preserved in Vind. phil. gr. 321 within a dossier devoted exclusively to works of the emperor. On the one hand, the edition is accompanied by a detailed study of this dossier along with a reconstruction of its lost copying exemplar, while, on the other, the paper presents an analysis of the six essays, placing them in the political, intellectual and cultural context of the late Nicaean Empire
