The present volume contributes to a reassessment of the phenomenon
of episcopal elections from the broadest possible perspective,
examining the varied combination of factors, personalities, rules
and habits that played a role in the process that eventually
resulted in one specific candidate becoming the new bishop, and not
another. The importance of episcopal elections hardly needs
stating: With the bishop emerging as one of the key figures of late
antique society, his election was a defining moment for the local
community, and an occasion when local, ecclesiastical, and secular
tensions were played out. Building on the state of the art
regarding late antique bishops and episcopal election, this volume
of collected studies by leading scholars offers fresh perspectives
by focussing on specific case-studies and opening up new
approaches. Covering much of the Later Roman Empire between 250-600
AD, the contributions will be of interest to scholars interested in
Late Antique Christianity across disciplines as diverse as
patristics, ancient history, canon law and oriental studies.
