Description
The Cambridge Companion to Constantinople explores the city's enduring legacy from Late Antiquity to the early modern period. This Companion examines the urban infrastructure and institutions that gave the city life, as well as visitors' encounters with both its urban reality and its place in imagination.
From its foundation in the fourth century, Constantinople was a city of both physical and imaginative significance. This book delves into the city's history, considering its administrative, social, religious, and cultural institutions, and how they shaped the city's identity.
By examining the complex interplay between the city's physical reality and its place in the imagination, this Companion provides a nuanced understanding of Constantinople's enduring impact on history and culture.
