The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire c.500–1492 1st Edition

by Jonathan Shepard (Editor)
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 5 ratings
See all formats and editions
Byzantium lasted a thousand years, ruled to the end by self-styled ‘emperors of the Romans’. It underwent kaleidoscopic territorial and structural changes, yet recovered repeatedly from disaster: even after the near-impregnable Constantinople fell in 1204, variant forms of the empire reconstituted themselves. The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire tells the story, tracing political and military events, religious controversies and economic change. It offers clear, authoritative chapters on the main events and periods, with more detailed chapters on particular outlying regions, neighbouring powers or aspects of Byzantium. With aids such as a glossary, an alternative place-name table and references to English translations of sources, it will be valuable as an introduction. However, it also offers stimulating new approaches and important new findings, making it essential reading for postgraduates and for specialists.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"A fine scholarly accomplishment. The editor's long introduction sets the stage for the contributions that follow. The volume is separated into four segments: the notion of Byzantium, periodization, an ap[preciation of cultural and societal approaches to Byzantium, and a discussion of sources in translation. The book's three parts correspond to the apex, transformation, and fall of the Byzantine Empire....The book has a fine bibliography, illustrations, and map selection. Recommended."

Amazing book!

Amazing book!
This book is an excellent, in-depth overview of the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire from the Emperor Anastasius of the Leonid Dynasty to Constantine Dragases Palialogos. It also talks about their neighbours as well. It has great maps, great photos, and looks nice as well! I recommend buying this book, although it is a bit pricy.
