Description
Exploring the cultural exchange between the Byzantine Empire and Western Europe from 400 to 800 AD, this collection of essays sheds light on how knowledge and ideas were transmitted across the Mediterranean.
The contributors examine the various approaches taken by scholars to understand the perception and adaptation of cultural elements in the West, highlighting the changing lines of communication between the Byzantine Empire and other regions.
Through a close analysis of contemporary texts, this volume provides a nuanced understanding of the complex processes involved in the transfer of knowledge and culture during late antiquity and the early Middle Ages.
