- Summary:
- Raffensperger (history, Wittenburg U.) sees this study as the laying out of a new framework upon which scholars in history, art history, linguistics, and numismatics can build regarding "medieval Rus'"--a term he uses rather than the more widely used "ancient Rus'"--in order to connect investigation to the whole of medieval Europe. He focuses on the extensive political, economic, religious, and marital ties among European kingdoms and brings forward Rus' as a center of medieval commerce and culture rather than an outpost.
