Download or read book The Byzantine Empire (Classic Reprint) written by Charles William Chadwick Oman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-14 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Byzantine Empire Fifty years ago the word Byzantine was used as a synonym for all that was corrupt and decadent, and the tale of the east-roman Empire was dis missed by modern historians as depressing and monotonous. The great Gibbon had branded the successors of Justinian and Heraclius as a series of vicious weaklings, and for several generations no one dared to contradict him. Two books have served to undeceive the English reader, the monumental work of Finlay, published in 1856, and the more modern volumes of Mr. Bury, which appeared in 1889. Since they have written, the Byzantines no longer need an apologist, and the great work of the east-roman Empire in holding back the Saracen, and in keeping alive throughout the Dark Ages the lamp of learning, is beginning to be realized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empresses of Constantinople Byzantine Empire after Bury's protest against that phrase. But it seems to me that if Roman Empire means an Empire centred in Rome, Byzantine Empire is the most congruous name for a dominion that centres in ancient Byzantium and has, during the far greater part of its story, no connexion whatever with Rome. Most historians continue to speak of it as Byzantine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Byzantine Empire: The Rearguard of European Civilization Roman Empire. There is at present, I believe, no book on the subject in the English language between Professor Oman's sketch in the 'story of the Nations' series and monumental works like those of Gibbon, Finlay, and Bury. The Early Middle Age of Europe has always had a fascination for me, and on the wonderful story of the Byzantine' Empire I have concentrated much atten tion. When, therefore, Mr. Gordon Home broached the idea of the present volume, I readily undertook the task, believing that a knowledge of what was required, combined with a real enthusiasm for my subject, might enable me to produce a book which would fill the gap.

Book Synopsis History of the Byzantine Empire by : George Finlay
Download or read book History of the Byzantine Empire written by George Finlay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-21 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Finlay's History of the Byzantine and Greek Empires - Volume Two covers the period of history from 666 to 1057. Finlay's work is a detailed history of some of the world's great empires. Volume Two is divided into two distinct books, both included in this publication. Book one is entitled The Contest with the Iconoclasts and covers the period of history from 717 to 867. This book opens with a discussion of the Byzantine Empire under the rule of the Isaurian Dynasty, also known as the Syrian Dynasty. Other chapters in book one are devoted to the reigns of Michael I and Leo V, The Amorian Dynasty, and a general look at the state of the Byzantine Empire during the time period being discussed. Book two examines the consolidation of Byzantine legislation, a period of conquest and military achievement, and what is deemed a period of stationary prosperity. Throughout the work Finlay makes frequent references to other historians whose work he has relied upon, although no bibliography is included. Finlay has put together an extensive history of the Byzantine and Greek Empires, demonstrating an impressive understanding of the major themes in the history of the Byzantines and Greeks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Cæsars of Byzantium I offer to the public a volume which may derive interest from the present attitude of Russia and Turkey in regard to each other, and from the great russian-turkish question which now claims the attention of every European Government. It con tains a simple narrative of the events which agitated the Byzantine empire, from the accession of the Palaeologi to the conquest of Greece by the Otto mans. I have endeavored to trace, together with the rapid progress of the Turks, the decline of the Greeks, whilst province after province is subj ugated, and one by one cities are snatched from their grasp, until at last the fall of the capital dealt the fatal blow to that power which had ruled for so many centuries.

Download or read book A History of the Eastern Roman Empire written by John Bagnell Bury and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-06-04 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Eastern Roman Empire: From the Fall of Irene to the Accession of Basil I. (A. D. 802-867) Tm: history of Byzantine civilization, in which social elements of the West and the East are so curiously blended and fused into a unique culture, will not be written for many years to come. It cannot be written until each successive epoch has been exhaustively studied and its distinguishing characteristics clearly ascertained. The fallacious assumption, once accepted as a truism, that the Byzantine spirit knew no change or shadow of turning, that the social atmosphere of the Eastern Rome was always immutably the same, has indeed been dis credited; but even in recent sketches of this civilization by competent hands we can see unconscious survivals of that belief. The curve of the whole development has still to be accurately traced, and this can only be done by defining each section by means of the evidence which applies to that section alone. N 0 other method will enable us to discriminate the series of gradual changes which transformed the Byzantium of Justinian into that - so different in a thousand ways - of the last Constantine.

This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and the Eastern Empire IT has often been said that the Eastern Church has no history independently Of the State; and this is so far true, that during long periods the annals of that Com munion have little else to show than lists of patriarchs. At the same time, at certain intervals episodes of great interest and importance occur, and from first to last the influence of the Church on the social and religious life of the Eastern Empire is a subject well worthy of study. To relate, however briefly, those episodes, and to trace the working of that influence, is the object of the pre sent volume. The early period, that Of the first four General Councils, belongs to the history of the Church at large, and therefore is only touched upon here as far as subsequent events depended upon it; it is the later, or Byzantine, age of the Eastern Church which we have especially to consider.

Book Synopsis Byzantine Empire by : Hourly History
Download or read book Byzantine Empire written by Hourly History and published by Hourly History. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to history books, the Roman Empire ended in 476 CE with the fall of Rome. But if you asked most people alive at that time, they would have pointed you to what they considered the continuation of the Roman Empire—the civilization we now call the Byzantine Empire. The Byzantines, however, were more than just a remnant of Roman glory. At its geographical peak, the Byzantine Empire stretched out across the Mediterranean world. Culturally, the Byzantines both preserved the knowledge of the classical world, much of which was lost in the West, and added to it. Inside you will read about... ✓ A Divided Empire ✓ The Fall of the West ✓ Rising to Glory ✓ An Age of War ✓ The Destruction of Icons ✓ The House of Macedon ✓ The Comnenian Revival ✓ The Final Decline And much more! Shaped by its classical roots, its Christian religion, and the changing medieval world, the story of the Byzantine Empire is one of both glorious victories and terrible defeats, of a civilization that rose from the brink of destruction again and again, and of the development of a culture whose vestiges remain today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Later Roman Empire, Vol. 1: From Arcadius to Irene, 395 A. D. To 800 A. D Now this essential fact is obscured as far as language is able to obscure it by applying the name Byzantine or the name Greek to the Empire in its rater stages. Historians who use the phrase Byzantine Empire are not very con sistent or very precise as to the date at which the Roman Empire ends and the Byzantine Empire begins. Sometimes the line is drawn at the foundation of Constantinople by Con stantina the Great, sometimes at the death of Theodosius the Great, sometimes at the reign of Justinian, sometimes (as by Finlay) at the accession of Leo the Isaurian; and the historian who adopts one line of division cannot assert that the historian who adopts a different line is wrong. For all such lines are purely arbitrary. N o Byzantine Empire ever began to exist; the Roman Empire did not come to an end until 1453.

This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constantinople the Story of the Old Capital of the Empire A Word of introduction is necessary to explain the nature of this sketch of the history Constantinople. It is the holiday-task, very pleasant to him, of a College don, to whom there is no city in the world so impressive and so fascinating as the ancient home of the Caesars of the East. It is not intended to supersede the indispensable Murray. For a city so great, in which there is so much to see, a guide-book full of practical details is absolutely necessary. For this I can refer the reader, with entire confidence, to Murray's Hand-book - and to nothing else. But I think everyone who visits Constantinople feels the need of some sketch of its long and wonderful history. I have myself often felt the need as I wandered about the city, or spent a long evening, during the cold spring, in the hotel. I have endeavoured, as best I could, to supply what I have myself wanted. I do not pretend to have written a history of the city "from the earliest times to the present day" from the mass of original authorities of which I know something. I have used the works of the best modern writers freely, and I should like here, once for all, to express my obligations. I may venture to say that the list of books I here insert will be found useful by anyone who wishes to go further into the history than my little book is able to take him.
