"Profound cultural change defined the Byzantine World. For centuries after its embrace of Christianity, exchanges of ideas, objects, peoples and identities continued to flow across an empire that found itself located at the crossroads of so many other worlds. From high politics of state, to Orthodox doctrine and practice, to artistic developments, the Byzantine world absorbed, transmuted, and transmitted aspects of other cultures in ways that often deeply influenced not only the course and development of Byzantine, but also of Eurasian, history and culture. This book brings together several select and important contributions to the study of cross-cultural exchange in the Byzantine World in its largest geographic and temporal sense. It employs an inter-disciplinary and comparative approach, presenting papers first given by graduate and early-career academic researchers from around the world at the Oxford University Byzantine Society's seventeenth international conference, held on the 27th and 28th of February, 2015. This book not only presents for the first time a broad range of new and innovative scholarly work to an academic, and otherwise interested, audience, but also bears witness to the wealth, relevance and extreme variety of a cross-cultural approach to the late antique and medieval Mediterranean and Near East"--Provided by publisher.
