However, in spite of its fame in literature and scholarship, there have been few attempts to analyze the Byzantine court in its entirety as a phenomenon. The studies in this volume aim to provide a unified composition by presenting Byzantine courtly life in all its interconnected facets. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOne important theme that unites these studies is the attention paid to describing the effects of a change in the social makeup of the court during this period and the reflection of these changes in art and architecture. These changes in social composition, mentality, and material culture of the court demonstrate that, as in so many other aspects of Byzantine civilization, the image of permanence and immutability projected by the forms of palace life was more apparent than real. As this new work shows, behind the golden facade of ceremony, rhetoric, and art, there was constant development and renewal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Maguire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0884023087\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780884023081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Dumbarton Oaks Research Library \u0026amp; Collection\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 1.10d","brand":"Henry Maguire","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47244021694719,"sku":"9780884023081","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8501896a-1b23-46de-a138-15df7943c1bf.jpg?v=1758134742","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/byzantine-court-culture-from-829-henry-maguire-9780884023081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
