The Nile on eBay FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE The History of Byzantine Empire by Skriuwer Com, Auke de Haan This history traces the Byzantine Empire from Constantine's Christian founding and Justinian's golden age through iconoclasm, Crusader sack, to Ottoman fall and enduring legacy in law and faith. FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Byzantium's Enduring Flame: From Roman Legacy to Imperial Twilight"The History of the Byzantine Empire" invites readers to explore a thousand-year saga of resilience and splendor, where emperors blended Roman law with Christian faith to defend a glittering realm against relentless foes. From Constantine's visionary founding of Constantinople to the tragic fall in 1453, this book evokes the awe of golden mosaics illuminating Hagia Sophia and the high stakes of leaders like Justinian and Basil II safeguarding civilization's torch amid invasions and schisms.It opens with Byzantium's roots, tracing Constantine's embrace of Christianity and Edict of Milan, establishing Constantinople as New Rome. Theodosius makes faith official, dividing East and West amid Gothic threats.Early eras fuse Roman traditions with Orthodox worship, as Justinian's conquests reclaim lost lands, codifying laws in Corpus Juris Civilis and erecting Hagia Sophia's dome. Heraclius repels Persians but faces Islam's rise, reshaping borders.Iconoclasm controversies test doctrine, yielding to Macedonian revival's cultural renaissance and military triumphs like Basil II's Bulgarian conquests. Komnenians navigate Crusades' complex alliances with Western knights.The Fourth Crusade's sack fractures the empire, birthing Latin states and Greek successors like Nicaea. Palaiologos restoration recaptures Constantinople, but Ottoman encirclement looms.Society blends hierarchies with monastic devotion, while art evolves mosaics and icons influencing Orthodoxy. Military themes and Greek Fire defend seas, with church councils defining faith.The fall under Mehmed II ends an era, yet Byzantium's legacy in law, art, and religion endures.Comparable to Judith Herrin's "Byzantium: The Surprising Life of a Medieval Empire," which brings the empire's vibrancy to life with fresh perspectives, this volume aligns with 2025 trends in medieval Eastern histories emphasizing cultural continuity and faith's role. Its broad marketability appeals to students, history enthusiasts, and Orthodox readers, promising steady sales for bookstores in Byzantine and religious history sections. By highlighting emotional stakes like spiritual devotion amid siege and legacy through adaptation, it connects readers to Byzantium's luminous spirit, inspiring reflection on how one empire's light illuminated the Middle Ages.

  2. I had a ‘90s copy. I was excited about the new edition. With a new forward by J Wasserman and intro by LM DuQuette. The book was excellent value and it arrived in perfect condition as it was sold new. A gorgeous looking tome.I gave 5 stars for the description, I had no communication with the seller and only gave 4 stars for Dispatch Time. Dispatched on Nov 4th with the last day being tomorrow. The process was great. Highly recommended. I’ve done business with these guys and will continue to.

  3. Good seller despite the negative feedback that I read. Communication has been excellent, seller has been responding professionally. The seller gave me a delivery date and the book arrived on time as promised. Book came in excellent mint condition. My only criticism would be that the seller should mention in the description that they do not keep the books in stock and have to order them in. This gives the buyer expectations that they have to wait a little longer to receive their book.
