The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium is a three-volume, comprehensive dictionary of Byzantine civilization. The first resource of its kind in the field, it features over 5,000 entries written by an international group of eminent Byzantinists covering all aspects of life in the Byzantine world. According to Alexander Kazhdan, editor-in-chief of the Dictionary: "Entries on patriarchy and emperors will coexist with entries on surgery and musical instruments. An entry on the cultivation of grain will not only be connected to entries on agriculture and its economics but on diet, the baking of bread, and the role of bread in this changing society." Major entries treat such topics as agriculture, art, literature, and politics, while shorter entries examine topics that relate to Byzantium such as the history of Kiev and personalities of ancient and biblical history. Each article is followed by a bibliography, and numerous maps, tables, architectural designs, and genealogies reinforce and clarify the text. The new Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium will be the standard research tool and reference work for Byzantinists from graduate students to advanced scholars, and an essential resource for college and school libraries. It will also be an invaluable guide for classicists, Western medievalists, Islamicists, Slavicists, art historians, religious historians, and scholars of archaeology.

The Oxford History of Byzantium is the only history to provide in concise form detailed coverage of Byzantium from its Roman beginnings to the fall of Constantinople and assimilation into the Turkish Empire. Lively essays and beautiful illustrations portray the emergence and development of a distinctive civilization, covering the period from the fourth century to the mid-fifteenth century. The authors - all working at the cutting edge of their particular fields - outlinethe political history of the Byzantine state and bring to life the evolution of a colourful culture.In AD 324, the Emperor Constantine the Great chose Byzantion, an ancient Greek colony at the mouth of the Thracian Bosphorous, as his imperial residence. He renamed the place 'Constaninopolis nova Roma', 'Constantinople, the new Rome' and the city (modern Istanbul) became the Eastern capital of the later Roman empire. The new Rome outlived the old and Constantine's successors continued to regard themselves as the legitimate emperors of Rome, just as their subjects called themselves Romaioi, orRomans long after they had forgotten the Latin language. In the sixteenth century, Western humanists gave this eastern Roman empire ruled from Constantinople the epithet 'Byzantine'.Against a backdrop of stories of emperors, intrigues, battles, and bishops, this Oxford History uncovers the hidden mechanisms - economic, social, and demographic - that underlay the history of events. The authors explore everyday life in cities and villages, manufacture and trade, machinery of government, the church as an instrument of state, minorities, education, literary activity, beliefs and superstitions, monasticism, iconoclasm, the rise of Islam, and the fusion with Western, or Latin,culture. Byzantium linked the ancient and modern worlds, shaping traditions and handing down to both Eastern and Western civilization a vibrant legacy.

Giorgio Gemisto Pletone durante la sua vita ha scritto due importanti testi sulla politica noti come Memoriali sul Peloponneso risalenti al 1416-1418 e che sollecitano radicali riforme in campo politico, economico e religioso. Il primo, la Raccomandazione a Teodoro, despota di Morea, e il secondo, il Memoriale a Manuele, imperatore bizantino, sono qui riuniti e tradotti per la prima volta, in una doviziosa edizione critica, insieme alla lettera di Gemisto, qui intitolata All’imperatore e di solito citata come Sull’istmo, anch’essa diretta a Manuele II e che lo informa della situazione nel Peloponneso. La lettera fu scritta, al più tardi, nel 1416. Molto più tardo (1451) èil quarto discorso che conclude questa raccolta di scritti politici, qui chiamato Indirizzo a Demetrio, a quel tempo despota di Morea, che sarebbe stato in seguito coinvolto nella distruzione del più importante trattato filosofico di Pletone. Le concezioni politiche di Pletone si radicano nel platonismo e si iscrivono nel quadro delle difficoltà del tramonto dell’impero bizantino e nondimeno, stabilendosi nei princìpi metafisici atemporali, conservano, sotto molti aspetti, una sorprendente attualità per gli avvenimenti del nostro tempo. L’opera èpreceduta da un saggio introduttivo che ha lo spessore di una monografia ed èaccompagnata da note di grande sottigliezza critica ed intellettuale. Questi scritti politici si inseriscono nel programma di pubblicazione delle opere di Pletone, di cui ègià apparso, presso altro editore, il Trattato delle virtùe a cui, tra non molto, seguiranno le opere di rigorosa critica ad Aristotele, e tutte testimoniano la varietà di temi filosofici ai quali si èinteressato e la nozione tradizionale alla quale li sottomette colui che fu considerato il “principe dei filosofi del suo tempo”, quel tempo che conosciamo col nome di Rinascimento.
