ИЛИЯНА БЕНИНА НИКОЛА БЕНИН
The eighteen chapters of this book explore the complex history of exchange between Byzantium and the Latin West over a period of more than three hundred years, with a focus on the political, ecclesiastical and cultural spheres.
Besides outlining the history of competition and collaboration between two empires in medieval Europe, a range of regional approaches, stretching from England to the Crusader kingdoms, offer insights into the many aspects of Byzantine-Latin contact and exchange. Further sections explore patterns of mutual perception, linguistic and material dimensions of the contacts, as well as the role played by various groups of “cultural brokers” such as ambassadors, merchants, monks and Jewish communities.
Contributors are: Axel Bayer, Saskia Dönitz, Nicolas Drocourt, Leonie Exarchos, Daniel Föller, Christian Gastgeber, Hans-Werner Goetz, Dominik Heher, Klaus Herbers, Christopher Hobbs, David Jacoby, Sebastian Kolditz, Savvas Neocleous, Johannes Pahlitzsch, Annick Peters-Custot, Miriam Salzmann, Jonathan Shepard, Juan Signes Codoñer, and Eleni Tounta.
Осемнадесетте глави на тази книга изследват сложната история на обмена между Византия и Латинския Запад в период от повече от триста години, с фокус върху политическата, църковната и културната сфера.
Освен че очертават историята на конкуренцията и сътрудничеството между две империи в средновековна Европа, редица регионални подходи, простиращи се от Англия до кралствата на кръстоносците, предлагат прозрения за многото аспекти на византийско-латинските контакти и обмен. Допълнителни раздели изследват моделите на взаимно възприятие, езиковите и материалните измерения на контактите, както и ролята, играна от различни групи „културни посредници“ като посланици, търговци, монаси и еврейски общности.
