This collection of essays has its origin in a conference held at
Oxford in 2006 to mark the publication of the first English edition
of the Acts of Chalcedon. Its aim is to place Chalcedon in a
broader context, and bring out the importance of the acts of the
early general councils from the fifth to the seventh century,
documents that because of their bulk and relative inaccessibility
have received only limited attention till recently. This volume is
evidence that this situation is now rapidly changing, as historians
of late antiquity as well as specialists in the history of the
Christian Church discover the richness of this material for the
exploration of common concerns and tensions across the provinces of
the Later Roman Empire, language use, networks of influence and
cultural exchange, and political manipulation at many different
levels of society. The extent to which the acts were instruments of
propaganda and should not be read as a pure verbatim record of
proceedings is brought out in a number of the essays, which
illustrate the fascinating literary problems raised by these texts.
