Despite the efforts of some recent historians, prejudices still deform understanding of the Byzantine civilization, often reducing it to a poor relation of Rome and the rest of the classical world. In this book, renowned historian Averil Cameron addresses misconceptions about Byzantium, suggests why it is so important to integrate the civilization into wider histories, and lays out why Byzantium should be central to ongoing debates about the relationships between West and East, Christianity and Islam, Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, and the ancient and medieval periods. The result is a compelling call to reconsider the place of Byzantium in Western history and imagination.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Averil Cameron\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0691196850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780691196855\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Princeton University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/24\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs","brand":"Averil Cameron","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925630058751,"sku":"9780691196855","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_4a7d5ac9-3b93-4d16-bbc3-4966f8ac3ebb.jpg?v=1681078410","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/byzantine-matters-averil-cameron-9780691196855","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
