Byzantium and Asia: The Fall of a Civilization
29.99 €
The monograph presents a systematic account of the relations between Byzantium and the Asian peoples (especially the Turks) during the 11th-15th centuries. In six chapters of the monograph, R. M. Shukurov consistently analyzes political, diplomatic, and cultural aspects of Byzantine relations with Asian peoples, including also gender relations, artistic traditions in the Balkan and Anatolian region, and demographic processes. The first chapter of the monograph describes the early appearance of the Turks within the Byzantine political and intellectual horizon. The second and third chapters narrate Byzantine-Asiatic relations in the eleventh and thirteenth centuries, both with the Balkan nomads and the Anatolian hybrid sedentary and nomadic world. The presentation of significant military-political and diplomatic relations is supplemented by "portraits" of significant persons of Turkic origin, who had some influence on Byzantine life or simply impressed the Greeks with something, and excursions into the social, cultural and economic life of the epoch. The following fourth and sixth chapters are devoted to the time of the decline and fall of the Byzantine states of the 13th through 15th centuries. The fifth chapter of the book tells about the fate of the Trebizond Empire and the role of the Turkic factor in its foreign and domestic policy. The sixth chapter discusses the fall of the Byzantine world under the blows of the Ottoman Turks. To date, the monograph is the first study on this topic in domestic science, as well as the most complete and detailed scientific description of the problem in the world historiography.
