Byzantium and Venice: 1204-1453, a selection of articles by the
late Julian Chrysostomides, focuses on Byzantium after the Fourth
Crusade and its relationship with Venice, particularly in the late
Palaeologan period. Seven of the articles deal with aspects of
Veneto-Byzantine interactions in the Peloponnese, while the
remainder concentrate on the political and commercial ties between
Byzantines and Venetians. The essays draw upon Julian
Chrysostomides' unrivalled knowledge of the relevant Venetian
documents.

The present volume is a Festschrift in honour of the distinguished
Byzantinist Costas N. Constantinides. The title of the volume,
Bibliophilos: Books and Learning in the Byzantine World, reflects
Professor Constantinides' major contribution to the fields of Greek
palaeography, editions of Byzantine texts, Byzantine history,
scholarship and education, and Cypriot manuscripts and culture. The
volume is introduced by a preface and a tabula gratulatoria
dedicated to the honorand, followed by twenty articles, written by
seasoned and younger scholars, who are former colleagues and
students of Professor Constantinides. These articles, which appear
in alphabetical order, offer new material and shed fresh light to
the study of Greek manuscripts, binders and scribes, and the life,
works and activities of Byzantine scholars, teachers and students,
providing editions of unpublished texts, including letters and
poems, and exploring various aspects of Byzantine and Cypriot
history, literature, art, science and culture. In the process the
authors often challenge earlier views and offer new interpretations
and insights. Bibliophilos is a book for the student, teacher and
scholar of Byzantium in particular, and for every bibliophile in
general.
