Spanning twelve centuries and three continents, the Byzantine empire linked
the ancient and modern worlds, shaping and transmitting Greek, Roman, and
Christian traditions-including the Greek classics, Roman law, and Christian
theology-that remain vigorous today, not only in Eastern Europe and the
Middle East,...

Middle Ages.

Fall of Constantinople 1453
by Steven Runciman
Book Description: This classic account shows how the fall of
Constantinople in May 1453, after a siege of several weeks, came as a bitter
shock to Western Christendom. The city's plight had been neglected, and
negligible help was sent in this crisis. To the Turks, victory not only
brought a new imperial capital, but guaranteed that their empire would
last. To the Greeks, the conquest meant the end of the civilisation of
Byzantium, and led to the exodus of scholars stimulating the tremendous
expansion of Greek...

The
Last Centuries of Byzantium, 1261-1453
by Donald M. Nicol (Author)
Book Description: The Byzantine empire in the last two centuries
of its existence had to rebuild itself after its conquest and dismemberment
by the Fourth Crusade in 1204. Its emperors in exile recovered Constantinople
in 1261 and this book narrates their empire's struggles for survival from
that date until its final conquest by Ottoman Turks in 1453. First published
in 1972, the book has been completely revised to take account of recent
scholarship. It remains the best synthesis of the political, ecclesiastical
and historical events of the period.

Law
in the Crisis of Empire 379-455 AD: The Theodosian Dynasty and Its Quaestors
by Tony Honore
Book Description
This new book by an eminent legal scholar and author can be described
in a number of ways: a work of reference; an essay in the study of style;
a contribution to the prosopography of the late Roman quaestorship; and
a reflection on the fall of the western (and on the survival of the eastern)
Roman empire. Using an innovative method of analysis--already successfully
employed in his acclaimed Emperors and Lawyers (OUP 1994)--the author examines
the laws of a crucial phase of the later Roman empire (379-455 AD), a period
during which the west collapsed while the east persisted. He allots the
laws to their likely drafters and shows why the eastern Theodosian Code
(429-438 AD), intended to restore the legal and administrative unity of
the Roman empire, came too late to save the west. The book includes a Palingenesia--as
stored on an accompanying floppy disk--allowing scholars to read the primary
texts chronologically and judge the soundness of the arguments advanced.
The
Making of Byzantium, 600-1025
by Mark Whittow
Book Description: Mark Whittow presents a clear, up-to-date
reassessment of the Byzantine empire during a crucial phase in the history
of the Near East. Against a geopolitical background (superbly illustrated
with fourteen maps), his book covers the last decade of the Roman empire
as a superpower, the catastrophic crisis of the seventh century, and the
means whereby the embattled Byzantine empire hung on in Constantinople
and Asia Minor until the Abbasid Caliphate's decline opened up new perspectives
for Christian power in the Near East. A special feature is Whittow's coverage
of Byzantium's neighbors, allies, and enemies in Europe and Asia. He stresses
the geographical context of events, often overlooked in other accounts
of this period. The origins of Russia, relations with the nomad powers
of the steppe world, the competition between Bulgars, Romans, and Slavs
in the Balkans, and the frequently ignored region of the Transcaucasus
are all given extended treatment. No such wide-ranging work has appeared
in English for nearly 30 years, and Whittow's book will be invaluable for
all scholars, students, and enthusiasts of medieval history.

Heraclius,
Emperor of Byzantium
by Walter E. Kaegi
Book Description This book evaluates the life and empire of the pivotal
yet controversial Byzantine emperor Heraclius (ad. 610-641), a contemporary
of the Prophet Muhammad. His stormy war-torn reign is critical for understanding
the background to fundamental changes in the Balkans and the Middle East,
including the emergence of Islam. Heraclius' skills enabled him to capture
and recapture important territory, including Jerusalem, Syria and Egypt.
Yet, they proved to be of little value when he confronted early Islamic
conquests.

Representations
of Early Byzantine Empresses: Image and Empire
by Anne McClanan (Author)
Book Description: This book reconsiders a wide array of images
of Byzantine empresses on media as diverse as bronze coins and gold mosaic
from the fifth through seventh centuries A.D. The representations have
often been viewed in terms of individual personas, but strong typological
currents frame their medieval context. Empress Theodora, the target of
political pornography, has consumed the bulk of past interest, but even
her representations fit these patterns. Methodological tools from fields
as disparate as numismatics as well as cultural and gender studies help
clarify the broader cultural significance of female imperial representation
and patronage at this time.

A
Short History of Byzantium
by John Julius Norwich
The Byzantine Empire, one of its most eminent students reminds us,
lasted "for a total of 1,123 years and 18 days," which is an astonishing
duration matched by only a few others. Condensing Norwich's three-volume
history, this overview captures the splendor and strangeness of Byzantine
rule, marked by family intrigues, constant warfare, political and religious
strife, and personal ambition--a "somewhat lurid background," as Norwich
modestly declares in passing. Norwich is a master of the telling vignette.
In one, he writes of imperial guards made up of "Anglo-Saxons who had left
their country in disgust after Hastings and had taken service with Byzantium."
Facing a Norman enemy in southern Italy, these Anglo-Saxons exacted terrible
vengeance until the Normans rallied under the leadership of a fearless
woman, one Sichelgaita, and massacred their enemy. Norwich's book abounds
in similarly surprising and absorbing episodes. Amazon.com
