The centuries-long economic and military decline of the Byznatine
Empire, which culminated in its political disappearance as a state
in 1459, was, paradoxically, accompanied by high levels of cultural
achievement. Aimed at broadening our understanding of the final
phase of the empire, this collection explores how Byzantine
ideological, spiritual, and artistic traditions transcending the
economic and political realities of the time. The papers, delivered
at an interdisciplinary colloquium held in May 1989 at Princeton
University, deal with hagiographic, monastic, literary,
architectural, and artistic questions, as well as the general
cultural and social issues, of this fascinating period. Along with
the editors, the contributors are Smilkjka Gabelic, Thalia
Gouma-Peterson, Angela Hero, Robert Ousterhout, Marcus Rautman,
Steven Reinert, Alice Mary Talbot, SPeros Vryonis, and John J.
Yiannias. Slobodan Curcic is Professor of Art and Archaeology at
Princeton University. Doula Mouriki teaches at the Technical
University of Athens. Publications of the Department of Art and
Archaeology, Princeton University. Originally published in 1991.
