This book is based on an in-depth filmed conversation between Howard Burton and Maria Mavroudi, Professor of History at UC Berkeley.

Becoming A Byzantinist - Inspiration and motivation II. Historical Background - Byzantine beginnings III. The High-School Narrative - History as a cultural mirror IV. Recovering Truth - A never-ending goal V. Building Knowledge - Standing on the shoulders of giants VI. Annotated Discoveries - Leo the Mathematician, for example VII. A Translational Discovery - From Arabic to Greek, surprisingly VIII. Arrows of Causality - Consequential greatness IX. Decline - A matter of opinion? X. Extracting Meaning - Interpreting human experiences XI. Ever-Moving Targets - Arab-Greek bilingualism and its implications About Ideas Roadshow Conversations Series: This book is part of an expanding series of 100+ Ideas Roadshow conversations, each one presenting a wealth of candid insights from a leading expert in a relaxed and informal setting to give non-specialists a uniquely accessible window into frontline research and scholarship that wouldn't otherwise be encountered through standard lectures and textbooks.

The captivating tale of Radeaux and Laele continues as the crusaders depart Byzantium for the perils of Asia, where they are surrounded by terrifying enemies at every turn. In his desperation to rescue Laele from a life of bondage, Radeaux must brave both the ferocity of the merciless Turks, and the treachery of his own warlords. The young knight Fultyn also comes of age during the arduous trek through the wilds of Illyria and Anatolia, as his youthful idealism is gradually replaced by a cynicism and calculation born of battlefield betrayal, political intrigue, and personal revelation. The character and perseverance of his beautiful wife Margarete, and his sheltered sister Gwendolyn, are also tested as they embark upon a journey of their own to the exotic and forbidding Saracen lands of the East. In their quest for advanced knowledge and healing, they instead discover prejudice and violence. But the greatest obstacle they each must face comes from within their own wounded souls. Beyond Byzantium is the ongoing chronicle of the First Crusade, an epic chapter in all history. The fascinating cast of characters makes this a legendary saga.

Although the actual dreaming experience of the Byzantines lies beyond our reach, the remarkable number of dream narratives in the surviving sources of the period attests to the cardinal function of dreams as vehicles of meaning, and thus affords modern scholars access to the wider cultural fabric of symbolic representations of the Byzantine world. Whether recounting real or invented dreams, the narratives serve various purposes, such as political and religious agendas, personal aspirations or simply an author’s display of literary skill. It is only in recent years that Byzantine dreaming has attracted scholarly attention, and important publications have suggested the way in which Byzantines reshaped ancient interpretative models and applied new perceptions to the functions of dreams. This book - the first collection of studies on Byzantine dreams to be published - aims to demonstrate further the importance of closely examining dreams in Byzantium in their wider historical and cultural, as well as narrative, context. Linked by this common thread, the essays offer insights into the function of dreams in hagiography, historiography, rhetoric, epistolography, and romance. They explore gender and erotic aspects of dreams; they examine cross-cultural facets of dreaming, provide new readings, and contextualize specific cases; they also look at the Greco-Roman background and Islamic influences of Byzantine dreams and their Christianization. The volume provides a broad variety of perspectives, including those of psychoanalysis and anthropology.

There are saints in Orthodox Christian culture who overturn the conventional concept of sainthood. Their conduct may be unruly and salacious, they may blaspheme and even kill - yet, mysteriously, those around them treat them with even more reverence. Such saints are called 'holy fools'. In this pioneering study Sergey A. Ivanov examines the phenomenon of holy foolery from a cultural standpoint. He identifies its prerequisites and its development in religious thought, and traces the emergence of the first hagiographic texts describing these paradoxical saints. He describes the beginnings of holy foolery in Egyptian monasteries of the fifth century, followed by its high point in the cities of Byzantium, with an eventual decline in the twelfth to fourteenth centuries. He also compares the important Russian tradition of holy fools, which in some form has survived to this day.
