- Summary:
- "This book celebrates one of the foremost Byzantinists, Paul Magdalino. It consists of 25 chapters by peers, friends and former students. The chapters reflect Magdalino's own research interests, most notably Constantinople itself, and span from late antiquity to the modern world. Particular themes within the book are the topography and monuments of Constantinople, relations between Byzantium and the West, the recasting of Byzantium in the 'Dark Age', and literary culture and society under the Macedonian and Komnenian dynasties. The volume is not just a celebration of Magdalino's work but an important contribution to the study of Byzantine history and culture."-- Provided by publisher.
