Novum Millennium: Studies on Byzantine History and Culture Presented to Paul Speck 19 December 1999

A collection of articles on Byzantine history and culture written by friends and students of Paul Speck. Its aim is to impart a look at the different methods and new approaches to this field of study and maybe even give a sense where future studies should, or ought to lead new generations of scholars. The volume contains studies in English, German and French on art, historiography, linguistics, literature, theology, topography, and sigillography. Several articles deal with Byzantium's relationship to its eastern and western neighbours. They demonstrate how much Byzantium was the centre of the late-Antiquate and medieval world.
