The various phases of life and their manifestations in theory and
social reality constitute a well-established area of research in
the fields of western medieval studies and ancient history. In this
respect the Byzantine East has been widely neglected. This volume
will focus on the Byzantine experience of adolescence, which may be
defined as the biological transition from childhood to adulthood as
well as the social and psychological experience of leaving the care
of parents, guardians and family groups and the gradual integration
into adult society. The contributions gathered therein treat seven
subtopics that correspond to crucial questions in the current
research on adolescence: the legal status of adolescents; the
mechanisms of transition from childhood to adolescence; the
socialisation and gradual integration into adult society;
adolescents in Byzantine art; psychological aspects of adolescence
from medieval to modern times; illnesses of adolescents;
adolescents in the western medieval world.The focus is on the
Middle and Late Byzantine Period, where historical,
hagiographical,legal and medical sources offer rich material for an
investigation of these aspects. The book contributes to a better
understanding of all these questions and to show future
trajectories for research.
