CLAS 12A: Cultures & Ideas II: Creating Barbarians (Cohen)

This 3-volume encyclopedia of Byzantine studies is essential. Its articles on Byzantine history and culture cover all aspects of ancient Byzantium, from the 4th to the 15th centuries CE. The articles are succinct, written by experts, and contain brief, but critical, bibliographies.

In addition to brief entries on places, people, and events in the Byzantine Empire, this book also contains useful maps, plans and photographs of historic sites, and an extensive bibliography listing major sources to turn to next for more information.
