The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Literature

Sinopsis del Libro

This volume, the first ever of its kind in English, introduces and surveys Greek literature in Byzantium (330 - 1453 CE). In twenty-five chapters composed by leading specialists, The Oxford Handbook of Byzantine Literature surveys the immense body of Greek literature produced from the fourth to the fifteenth century CE and advances a nuanced understanding of what "literature" was in Byzantium. This volume is structured in four sections. The first, "Materials, Norms, Codes," presents basic structures for understanding the history of Byzantine literature like language, manuscript book culture, theories of literature, and systems of textual memory. The second, "Forms," deals with the how Byzantine literature works: oral discourse and "text"; storytelling; rhetoric; re-writing; verse; and song. The third section ("Agents") focuses on the creators of Byzantine literature, both its producers and its recipients. The final section, entitled "Translation, Transmission, Edition," surveys the three main ways by which we access Byzantine Greek literature today: translations into other Byzantine languages during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages; Byzantine and post-Byzantine manuscripts; and modern printed editions. The volume concludes with an essay that offers a view of the recent past--as well as the likely future--of Byzantine literary studies.

Historia de España

Estos dos siglos, herederos de la unión dinástica de los Reyes Católicos, comprenden el período en el que, con altibajos, avances y retrocesos, se consolida el sistema de poder monárquico del absolutismo en detrimento de las viejas jurisdicciones feudales, si bien éstas no se extinguirán del todo. Dos grandes reinados ocupan la primeras de las centurias, el de Carlos I y el de su hijo Felipe II, que es la época imperial del esplendor. Frente a ésta el siglo XVII va a ser el siglo de la decadencia concepto hoy en constante escrutinio, sobre el que conviene matizar con firmeza las...

El mundo de los Césares

Documento etnográfico y político, económico y cultural de primer orden, esta obra es un arsenal precioso de datos para el estudio de la historia de los pueblos de la cuenca del Mediterráneo. Es cierto que Mommsen hacía hablar a las piedras. Y ellas le entregaron, en gran parte, el secreto de la intensa vida provincial, oculto hasta entonces bajo la superestructura de una tradición basada en los escritos centralistas de los historiadores y los escritores romanos. Sus capítulos mejor logrados, con ser todos magistrales, son aquellos que versan sobre las partes del imperio, como los...
