This mediation was discussed not only in terms of influence, but also of receptive function, symbolized in its bridging role. Such a bridge was built also within Byzantium, in the transition from pagan to Christian culture. The proceedings which were supplemented by additional contributions of specialists underpin the importance of Byzantine culture and politics for an overall understanding of late Roman, medieval and early modern history and once again restore Byzantium from a romanticized oriental, distant, mysterious kingdom into European history and its cultural landscape. Thus, the focus is particularly on its huge boost, its reception and its mediation between Europe and the East, in a never-ending process of mobility between Europe, Africa and Asia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Falko Daim\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3700176643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783700176640\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Austrian Academy of Sciences Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.73lbs","brand":"Falko Daim","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623352348927,"sku":"9783700176640","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/byzantium-as-bridge-between-west-falko-daim-9783700176640","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
