Book Synopsis Byzantine Chronicles and the Sixth Century by : Roger Scott
Download or read book Byzantine Chronicles and the Sixth Century written by Roger Scott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Byzantine chronicles have traditionally been regarded as a somewhat inferior form of Byzantine history writing, especially in comparison with 'classicizing' historians. The aim of many of these papers is both to rescue the reputation of the Byzantine chroniclers, especially Malalas and Theophanes, and also to provide some examples of how these two chroniclers in particular can be exploited usefully both to reveal aspects of the past itself, notably of the period of Justinian, and also of how the Byzantines interpreted their own past, which included on occasions rewriting that past to suit altered contemporary needs. For the period of Justinian in particular, proper attention to aspects of the humble Byzantine chronicle can also help achieve a better understanding of the period than that provided by the classicizing Procopius with his emphasis on war and conquest. By considering more general aspects of the place of history-writing in Byzantine culture, the papers also help explain why history remained such an important aspect of Byzantine culture.
Book Synopsis Byzantium and the Arabs in the Sixth Century by : Irfan Shahîd
Download or read book Byzantium and the Arabs in the Sixth Century written by Irfan Shahîd and published by Dumbarton Oaks. This book was released on 1995 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Byzantium and the Arabs in the Sixth Century is devoted to frontier studies and to the structures of the Arab federates of Byzantium. It deals mainly with the Ghassanids of Oriens in the sixth century, a time of transition from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages. The focus of this study is on the military, religious, and civil structures of the Ghassanids. The detailed study of these buildings contributes to our understanding of Byzantine provincial art and architecture in Oriens, as they were adopted by the federate Arabs and later adapted to their own use. As monuments of Christian architecture, these federate structures constitute the missing link in the development of Arab architecture in the region--the link between the earlier pagan (Nabataean and Palmyrene) and later Muslim (Umayyad).

Book Synopsis Christian Chronicles and Byzantine History, 5th-6th Centuries by : Brian Croke
Download or read book Christian Chronicles and Byzantine History, 5th-6th Centuries written by Brian Croke and published by Variorum Publishing. This book was released on 1992 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects a preoccupation with analysing the early Byzantine chronicles, above all the very different works of Marcellinus and Malalas, both as historiographical artefacts and as testimony for the years they cover. Many of the studies here demonstrate that, when set in context, even the briefest chronicle entry may shed new light on some aspect of early Byzantine politics, topography or prosopography. Particular themes are the development of the Christian chronicle as a form of presenting the past, the ceremonial life of Constantinople, and the relations between the Roman government and the tribes invading the Balkans.Cet ouvrage traduit une préoccupation certaine se rapportant à l'analyse des chroniques byzantines et surtout des travaux bien différents de Marcellin et de Malalas; l'un et l'autre en tant au'artefacts historiographiques et que témoignages des années qui y sont couvertes. Bon nombre des études contenues dans ce volume démontrent que, lorsqu'on la replace dans son contexte, ne serait-ce que la plus brève des chroniques enregistrées peut apporter un nouvel éclaircissement quant à un aspect ou un autre de la politique, de la topographie ou de la prosopographie byzantine. On retrouve parmi les thèmes ceux du développement de la chronique chrétienne, en tant que modèle de présentation du passé, de la vie cérémonielle de Constantinople et des rapports entre le gouvernement romain et les tribus qui envahissaient les Balkans.
Book Synopsis Mosaics of Time by : Richard W. Burgess
Download or read book Mosaics of Time written by Richard W. Burgess and published by Brepols Pub. This book was released on 2013-04-16 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The multivolume series Mosaics of Time offers for the first time an in-depth analysis of the Roman Latin chronicle traditions from their beginnings in the first century BC to their end in the sixth century AD. For each chronicle it presents a comprehensive introduction, edition, translation, and historical and historiographical commentary. Chronicles seem to be everywhere in ancient and medieval history. Now for the first time, R. W. Burgess and Michael Kulikowski present a diachronic study of chronicles, annals, and consularia from the twenty-fifth century BC to the twelfth century AD, demonstrating the origins and interlinked traditions of the oldest and longest continuing genre of historical writing in the Western world. This introductory volume of Mosaics of Time provides both the detailed context for the study of the Latin chronicle traditions that occupies the remaining three volumes of this series as well as a general study of chronicles across three millennia from the ancient Egyptian Palermo Stone to the medieval European chronicle of Sigebert of Gembloux and beyond. The work is an essential companion to ancient and medieval history, historiography, and literary studies.

Book Synopsis The Routledge Handbook on Identity in Byzantium by : Michael Edward Stewart
Download or read book The Routledge Handbook on Identity in Byzantium written by Michael Edward Stewart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first to focus solely on how specific individuals and groups in Byzantium and its borderlands were defined and distinguished from other individuals and groups from the mid-fourth to the close of the fifteenth century. It gathers chapters from both established and emerging scholars from a wide range of disciplines across history, art, archaeology, and religion to provide an accurate representation of the state of the field both now and in its immediate future. The handbook is divided into four subtopics that examine concepts of group and specific individual identity which have been chosen to provide methodologically sophisticated and multidisciplinary perspectives on specific categories of group and individual identity. The topics are Imperial Identities; Romanitas in the Late Antique Mediterranean; Macro and Micro Identities: Religious, Regional, and Ethnic Identities, and Internal Others; and Gendered Identities: Literature, Memory, and Self in Early and Middle Byzantium. While no single volume could ever provide a comprehensive vision of identities on the vast variety of peoples within Byzantium over nearly a millennium of its history, this handbook represents a milestone in offering a survey of the vibrant surge of scholarship examining the numerous and oft-times fluctuating codes of identity that shaped and transformed Byzantium and its neighbours during the empire’s long life.
Book Synopsis Engaging with the Past, c.250-c.650 by : Brian Croke
Download or read book Engaging with the Past, c.250-c.650 written by Brian Croke and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between c.250 and c.650, the way the past was seen, recorded and interpreted for a contemporary audience changed fundamentally. Only since the 1970s have the key elements of this historiographical revolution become clear, with the recasting of the period, across both east and west, as ‘late antiquity’. Historiography, however, has struggled to find its place in this new scholarly world. No longer is decline and fall the natural explanatory model for cultural and literary developments, but continuity and transformation. In addition, the emergence of ‘late antiquity’ coincided with a methodological challenge arising from the ‘linguistic turn’ which impacted on history writing in all eras. This book is focussed on the development of modern understanding of how the ways of seeing and recording the past changed in the course of adjusting to emerging social, religious and cultural developments over the period from c.250 to c.650. Its overriding theme is how modern historiography has adapted over the past half century to engaging with the past between c.250 and c.650. Now, as explained in this book, the newly dominant historiographical genres (chronicles, epitomes, church histories) are seen as the preferred modes of telling the story of the past, rather than being considered rudimentary and naïve.
Book Synopsis History as Literature in Byzantium by : Ruth Macrides
Download or read book History as Literature in Byzantium written by Ruth Macrides and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-12-05 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although perceived since the sixteenth century as the most impressive literary achievement of Byzantine culture, historical writing nevertheless remains little studied as literature. Historical texts are still read first and foremost for nuggets of information, as main sources for the reconstruction of the events of Byzantine history. Whatever can be called literary in these works has been considered as external and detachable from the facts. The 'classical tradition' inherited by Byzantine writers, the features that Byzantine authors imitated and absorbed, are regarded as standing in the way of understanding the true meaning of the text and, furthermore, of contaminating the reliability of the history. Chronicles, whose language and style are anything but classicizing, have been held in low esteem, for they are seen as providing a mere chronological exposition of events. This book presents a set of articles by an international cast of contributors, deriving from papers delivered at the 40th annual Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies. They are concerned with historical and visual narratives that date from the sixth to the fourteenth century, and aim to show that literary analyses and the study of pictorial devices, far from being tangential to the study of historical texts, are preliminary to their further study, exposing the deeper structures and purposes of these texts.
