Our Titles

Our title selections cover a wide range of topics relevent to the study of Byzantine history from art and religion to literture and political relations with the Muslim world. We do not believe that a book must be specifically about Byzantine history in order to be relevant. The Byzantine Empire, at its height, included the territory of over a dozen modern states and had cultural, economic, and political ties with many others. By spanning the fourth to fifteenth centuries in an ever changing world, understanding the Byzantine Empire and the world in which it functioned leaves a wide array of topics, viewpoints, languages and sheer chronological time to cover.

We strive to cover topics directly pertaining to the Byzantine Empire itself, but because Byzantium did not exist in a vacuum we also choose books that offer information about topics in neighboring regions. For example, we carry books on Islamic architecture and literature because they can be useful in understanding concurrent trends in those fields, examining the exchance of ideas between Islam and Byzantium, or simply to gain a better appreciation of a broader regional history.

Currently, the majority of our titles are in English, but we are constantly looking to expand our catalog and add more selections in a variety of languages.
