This book examines the many ways Byzantines lived with their trees.
It takes seriously theological and hagiographic tree engagement as
expressions of that culture's deep involvement-and even
fascination-with the arboreal. These pages tap into the current
attention paid to plants in a wide range of scholarship, an
attention that involves the philosophy of plant life as well as
scientific discoveries of how communicative trees may be, and how
they defend themselves. Considering writings on and images of trees
from Late Antiquity and medieval Byzantium sympathetically, the
book argues for an arboreal imagination at the root of human
aspirations to know and draw close to the divine.
