Full Description

Originally published in 1957 and as a fourth edition in 1970 this is an accessible history of Byzantium from Constantine the Great to its final conquest by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Despite internal dissensions and the almost perpetual threat of outside attack, Byzantium maintained a remarkable continuity in its cosmopolitan and cultural life: its religious, intellectual and artistic achievements were an inspiration both to the Slavonic peoples and to western Europe
