“An increasing amount of attention has been given in recent years to the civilization of the Byzantine Empire, which flourished in the Greek East from the early part of the third century A.D. to 1453. Although many learned works have been written about that great Christian civilization, still certain aspects of it have been little explored. This is especially true of its philosophy and theology, and the deeper essence and significance of its art.” —“Preface”
