Byzantium in the Ninth Century: Dead or Alive?: Papers from the Thirtieth Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, Birmingham, March 1996: Publications of the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies

Editat de Leslie Brubaker
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2016
9th-century Byzantium has always been viewed as a mid-point between Iconoclasm and the so-called Macedonian revival; in scholarly terms it is often treated as a ’dead’ century. The object of these papers is to question such an assumption. They present a picture of political and military developments, legal and literary innovations, artisanal production, and religious and liturgical changes from the Anatolian plateau to the Greek-speaking areas of Italy that are only now gradually emerging as distinct. Investigation of how the 9th-century Byzantine world was perceived by outsiders also reveals much about Byzantine success and failure in promoting particular views of itself. The chapters here, by an international group of scholars, embody current research in this field; they recover many lost aspects of 9th-century Byzantium and shed new light on the Mediterranean world in a transitional century. The papers in this volume derive from the 30th Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies, held for the Society for the Promotion of Byzantine Studies at the University of Birmingham in March 1996.

Recenzii

'Byzantium in the Ninth Century is an important and seminal contribution to Byzantine studies and a welcome set of scholarly insights into our understanding of influence and cultural legacy this Mediterranean empire in a time of sweeping political, military, cultural and ethnic transitions.' The Midwest Book Review '...highly recommended for acquisition by university libraries and students of the Middle Byzantine period.' Church History, Vol. 69, No. 1 '... brings together very different areas of expertise, but at the same time manages to achieve a well-structured and coherent whole... an eminently readable collection.' Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies
