This volume covers such pivotal events as the fall of Rome, the rise of Christianity, the origins of Islam, & the early formation of Byzantium and the European Middle Ages. These events are set n the context of widespread literary, artistic, cultural, & religious change during the period. The geographical scope of this handbook is unparalleled among comparable surveys of Late Antiquity; Arabia, Egypt, Central Asia, & the Balkans all receive dedicated treatments, while the scope extends to the western kingdoms & North Africa in the West. Furthermore, from economic theory & slavery to Greek & Latin poetry, Syriac & Coptic literature, philosophy, sites of religious devotion, & many others, this handbook covers a wide range of topics that will appeal to scholars from a diverse array of disciplines. "The Oxford Handbook of Late Antiquity" engages the perennially valuable questions about the end of the ancient world & the beginning of the medieval, while providing a much needed touchstone for the study of Late Antiquity itself. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: SCOTT FITZGERALD JOHNSON is Dumbarton Oaks Teaching Fellow in Postclassical Greek at Georgetown University * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.…
