Description
This outdated book about "The Byzantine Empire" (a term not prefered today because it is considered to carry the negative connotations of Western Renaissance scholars against medieval Hellenism - we prefer "Eastern Roman Empire" instead), is a concise narrative about the eastern part of Roman Empire that outlived its western counterpart for almost a millenium. No doubt, one can find more recent books online on the subject but this is a nice sample of "byzantine" historiography from late 19th century. Anyway, you can still get the basics. You can also find many interesting illustrations (please note the coin from the greek colony of Byzantion on page 4 - the crescent and star emblem of the ancient greek city-state is nothing but the modern turkish coat-of-arms). Another feature you can enjoy is the beauty of the typography of the time. ***Par' Abati, Luciano***
