Dialogues and Debates from Late Antiquity to Late Byzantium offers
the first overall discussion of the literary and philosophical
dialogue tradition in Greek from imperial Rome to the end of the
Byzantine empire and beyond. Sixteen case studies combine
theoretical approaches with in-depth analysis and include
comparisons with the neighbouring Syriac, Georgian, Armenian and
Latin traditions. Following an introduction and a discussion of
Plutarch as a writer of dialogues, other chapters consider the
Erostrophus, a philosophical dialogue in Syriac, John Chrysostom's
On Priesthood, issues of literariness and complexity in the Greek
Adversus Iudaeos dialogues, the Trophies of Damascus, Maximus
Confessor's Liber Asceticus and the middle Byzantine apocryphal
revelation dialogues. The volume demonstrates a new frequency in
middle and late Byzantium of rhetorical, theological and literary
dialogues, concomitant with the increasing rhetoricisation of
Byzantine literature, and argues for a move towards new and
exciting experiments. Individual chapters examine the Platonising
and anti-Latin dialogues written in the context of Anselm of
Havelberg's visits to Constantinople, the theological dialogue by
Soterichos Panteugenos, the dialogues of Niketas 'of Maroneia' and
the literary dialogues by Theodore Prodromos, all from the twelfth
century. The final chapters explore dialogues from the empire's
Georgian periphery and discuss late Byzantine philosophical,
satirical and verse dialogues by Nikephoros Gregoras, Manuel II
Palaiologos and George Scholarios, with special attention to issues
of form, dramatisation and performance.
