This volume examines the effects of Byzantine culture on the rest of Europe, from the Middle Ages through the Renaissance, Reformation, Enlightenment, and up to the present time. The individual contributions cast a new light on different forms of encounter, adaptation, and impact, as well as on conflicts between cultures. The volume examines phenomena from literature, philosophy, theology, history, jurisprudence, music, and art, elucidating the ways in which the Byzantine Empire significantly shaped the development of Europe as a transmitter of the Greek, Roman, and Christian cultures.
