This volume brings into being the field of Byzantine intellectual
history. Shifting focus from the cultural, social, and economic
study of Byzantium to the life and evolution of ideas in their
context, it provides an authoritative history of intellectual
endeavors from Late Antiquity to the fifteenth century. At its
heart lie the transmission, transformation, and shifts of Hellenic,
Christian, and Byzantine ideas and concepts as exemplified in
diverse aspects of intellectual life, from philosophy, theology,
and rhetoric to astrology, astronomy, and politics. Case studies
introduce the major players in Byzantine intellectual life, and
particular emphasis is placed on the reception of ancient thought
and its significance for secular as well as religious modes of
thinking and acting. New insights are offered regarding
controversial, understudied, or promising topics of research, such
as philosophy and medical thought in Byzantium, and intellectual
exchanges with the Arab world.
