Byzantium in Dialogue with the Mediterranean
History and Heritage
Series: - The Medieval Mediterranean, Volume: 116
In thirteen contributions, Byzantium in Dialogue with the Mediterranean. History and Heritage shows that throughout the centuries of its existence, Byzantium continuously communicated with other cultures and societies on the European continent, as well as North Africa and in the East. In this volume, âHistoryâ represents not only the chronological, geographical and narrative background of the historical reality of Byzantium, but it also stands for an all-inclusive scholarly approach to the Byzantine world that transcends the boundaries of traditionally separate disciplines such as history, art history or archaeology. The second notion, âHeritageâ, refers to both material remains and immaterial traditions, and traces that have survived or have been appropriated.
