About This Item
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1981. 334 pp including notes, bibliography and index. 24 pages of b/w photos and 3 maps. In 324 A.D. the city of Constantinople was founded as the New Rome. During its first three centuries the Byzantine world integrated Christianity fully within the Greco-Roman tradition. Through eleven centuries this fabulous civilization underwent profound tranformations; for example in the seventh century when the Persian invasion and Arab expansion initiated a process of disintergration, leading ultimately to the fall of Constantinople to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Professor Mango exposes the shortcomings of the surviving historical records of Byzantine civilization on which previous studies have too frequently depended. The result is an absorbing study that reflects in its scope the wealth of its subject. It will appeal to both the specialist and the general reader. List of illustrations and chronelogical list of Byzantine Emperors provided. Price-intact dust jacket. A clean, bright copy.. ISBN: 0-784-16768-9. First Edition, First Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good. Byzantine Empire Civilization + Byzantine Emperors + Constantinople + World History. Catalogs: History.
