La diplomatie byzantine, de lâEmpire romain aux confins de lâEurope (Ve-XVe s.)
Series: - The Medieval Mediterranean, Volume: 123
In La Diplomatie byzantine, de lâEmpire romain aux confins de lâEurope (Ve-XVe s.), twelve studies explore from novel angles the complex history of Byzantine diplomacy. After an Introduction, the volume turns to the period of late antiquity and the new challenges the Eastern Roman Empire had to contend with. It then examines middle-Byzantine diplomacy through chapters looking at relations with Arabs, Rusâ and Bulgarians, before focusing on various aspects of the official contacts with Western Europe at the end of the Middle Ages. A thematic section investigates the changes to and continuities of diplomacy throughout the period, in particular by considering Byzantine alertness to external political developments, strategic use of dynastic marriages, and the role of women as diplomatic actors.

"This rich book offers many opportunities for reflection [...] variety lies more in different points of view and approaches than in the choice of contexts. In this sense, the book also offers a lesson in methodology: the reader is given a polyphonic image of Byzantine diplomacy thanks to the ability of both the authors and editors to change, even slightly, their focus and their lenses." Isabella Lazzarini, in Diplomatica 4 (2022).
