The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Studies presents discussions by
leading experts on all significant aspects of this diverse and
fast-growing field. The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Studies deals
with the history and culture of the Byzantine Empire, the eastern
half of the Late Roman Empire, from the fourth to the fourteenth
century. Its centre was the city formerly known as Byzantium,
refounded as Constantinople in 324 CE, the present-day Istanbul.
Under its emperors, patriarchs, and all-pervasive bureaucracy
Byzantium developed a distinctive society: Greek in language, Roman
in legal system, and Christian in religion. Byzantium's impact in
the European Middle Ages is hard to over-estimate, as a bulwark
against invaders, as a meeting-point for trade from Asia and the
Mediterranean, as a guardian of the classical literary and artistic
heritage, and as a creator of its own magnificent artistic style.
