The Great Church in Captivity: A Study of the Patriarchate of Constantinople From the Eve of the Turkish Conquest to the Greek War of Independence, by Steven Runciman (read Feb 18, 2001). This book was read because of the superlative books on the Crusades and on the Sicilian Vespers which Runciman wrote and which I read (the former in November and December of 1974, and the latter on Nov. 7, 1982). The subject of this carefully researched well-written book was not of as great interest to me, and so it was not as much enjoyed, but Runciman was a masterful historian.

Henvisninger til dette værk andre steder. Wikipedia på engelsk (34)This is Sir Steven Runciman's established and widely admired classic account of the Patriarchate of Constantinople, first published in 1968. The Great Church, as the Greeks called the Orthodox Patriarchate, was the spiritual centre of the Byzantine world. The Church's survival during the four centuries of Turkish rule which followed the fall of Constantinople bore witness to its strenght and to the unquenchable vitality of Hellenism. Sir Steven Runciman's history of the Great Church in this period is written with scholarship, sympathy and style. No library descriptions found. |
