A Companion to Procopius of Caesarea de Mischa Meier

A Companion to Procopius of Caesarea: Brill's Companions to the Byzantine World, cartea 11

Mischa Meier, Federico Montinaro
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 dec 2021
This volume offers an extensive introduction to 6th-century Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea, widely regarded as one of the last great historians of Antiquity. Procopius’ monumental oeuvre is our main contemporary source for an array of highly significant historical developments during the reign of Justinian I (527-565), ranging from warfare with Persia in the East and the reconquest of large parts of the Western Empire from the Goths and Vandals to aspects of social and economic history.

Contributors are: Harmut Leppin, Brian Croke, Dariusz Brodka, Geoffrey Greatrex, Philip Rance, Rene Pfeilschifter, Michael Whitby, Bruno Bleckmann, Laura Mecella, Timo Stickler, Marek Jankowiak, Charles Pazdernik, Hans-Ulrich Wiemer, Henning Börm, Anthony Kaldellis, Umberto Roberto, Olivier Gengler, and Élodie Turquois.

Recenzii

'A wonderful book. Meier and Montinaro deserve full credit for compiling a great companion [...] With this fantastic entry in Brill’s Companions to the Byzantine World series, I hope that more readers are inspired to engage with Procopius and introduce new approaches to his study.' Conor Whately, in Plekos, July 2022. Read the full review here.
