A Critical Commentary on The Taktika of Leo VI (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days
|
The 'Taktika', ascribed to the hand of the Byzantine emperor Leo VI
'the Wise' (886-912), is perhaps one of the best-known middle
Byzantine texts of an official of semi-official genre. Presented in
the form of a book of guidance for provincial generals, it served
as both a statement of imperial authority and power, as well as a
reminder of earlier 'good practice' and the centrality of the
values of a Christian society in the struggle against its enemies.
Here, John Haldon offers a critical commentary which addresses in
detail the many varied subjects touched on in the treatise and
examines the context, sources, language, structure, and content of
the text, as well as the military administration of the empire in
Leo's time.
