Romanland: Ethnicity and Empire in Byzantium
ISBN: 9780674986510 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Was there ever such a thing as Byzantium? Certainly no emperor ever called himself Byzantine. While the identities of eastern minorities were clear, that of the ruling majority remains obscured behind a name made up by later generations. Anthony Kaldellis says it is time for the Romanness of these so-called Byzantines to be taken seriously.

Streams of Gold, Rivers of Blood: The Rise and Fall of Byzantium, 955 A.D. to the First Crusade
ISBN: 9780190253226 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In the second half of the tenth century, Byzantium embarked on a series of spectacular conquests: first in the southeast against the Arabs, then in Bulgaria, and finally in the Georgian and Armenian lands. By the early eleventh century, the empire was the most powerful state in the Mediterranean. It was also expanding economically, demographically, and, in time, intellectually as well. Yet this imperial project came to a crashing collapse fifty years later, when political disunity, fiscal mismanagement, and defeat at the hands of the Seljuks in the east and the Normans in the west brought an...

The Christian Parthenon: Classicism and Pilgrimage in Byzantine Athens
ISBN: 9780521882286 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Byzantine Athens was not a city without a history, as is commonly believed, but an important center about which much can now be said. Providing a wealth of new evidence, Professor Kaldellis argues that the Parthenon became a major site of Christian pilgrimage after its conversion into a church. Paradoxically, it was more important as a church than it had been as a temple: the Byzantine period was its true age of glory. He examines the idiosyncratic fusion of pagan and Christian culture that took place in Athens, where an attempt was made to replicate the classical past in Christian terms,...

Byzantine Readings of Ancient Historians: Texts in Translation, with Introductions and Notes
ISBN: 9780415732321 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The survival of ancient Greek historiography is largely due to its preservation by Byzantine copyists and scholars. This process entailed selection, adaptation, and commentary, which shaped the corpus of Greek historiography in its transmission. By investigating those choices, Kaldellis enables a better understanding of the reception and survival of Greek historical writing. Byzantine Readings of Ancient Historians includes translations of texts written by Byzantines on specific ancient historians. Each translated text is accompanied by an introduction and...

Hellenism in Byzantium: The Transformations of Greek Identity and the Reception of the Classical Tradition
ISBN: 9780521876889 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This text was the first systematic study of what it meant to be 'Greek' in late antiquity and Byzantium, an identity that could alternatively become national, religious, philosophical, or cultural. Through close readings of the sources, Professor Kaldellis surveys the space that Hellenism occupied in each period; the broader debates in which it was caught up; and the historical causes of its successive transformations. The first section (100 400) shows how Romanisation and Christianisation led to the abandonment of Hellenism as a national label and its restriction to a negative religious...

A Cabinet of Byzantine Curiosities: Strange Tales and Surprising Facts from History's Most Orthodox Empire
ISBN: 9780190625948 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Weird, decadent, degenerate, racially mixed, superstitious, theocratic, effeminate, and even hyper-literate, Byzantium has long been regarded by many as one big curiosity. According to Voltaire, it represented "a worthless collection of miracles, a disgrace for the human mind"; for Hegel, it was "a disgusting picture of imbecility." A Cabinet of Byzantine Curiosities will churn up these old prejudices, while also stimulating a deeper interest among readers in one of history's most interesting civilizations. Many of the zanier tales and trivia that are collected here revolve...

Ethnography After Antiquity: Foreign Lands and Peoples in Byzantine Literature
ISBN: 9780812245318 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although Greek and Roman authors wrote ethnographic texts describing foreign cultures, ethnography seems to disappear from Byzantine literature after the seventh century C.E. a perplexing exception for a culture so strongly self-identified with the Roman empire. Yet the Byzantines, geographically located at the heart of the upheavals that led from the ancient to the modern world, had abundant and sophisticated knowledge of the cultures with which they struggled and bargained. "Ethnography After Antiquity" examines both the instances and omissions of Byzantine ethnography, exploring the...

Procopius of Caesarea: Tyranny, History, and Philosophy at the End of Antiquity
ISBN: 9780812237870 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Important, well argued."--Choice Justinian governed the Roman empire for more than thirty-eight years, and the events of his reign were recorded by Procopius of Caesarea, secretary of the general Belisarius. Yet, significantly, Procopius composed a history, a panegyric, as well as a satire of his own times. Anthony Kaldellis here offers a new interpretation of these writings of Procopius, situating him as a major source for the sixth century and one of the great historians of antiquity and Byzantium. Breaking from the scholarly tradition that views classicism as an affected imitation...
