The Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire c.500–1492

You might say that reading byzantine histories is something of a hobby for me; I've read many in the last decade. This particular compendium is an exceptional and delightful read. Having multiple authors write on each topic adds such depth and insight. Several writers go out of their way to refute outdated concepts with the best in new research. A must read!

No dislikes.

This book is very good, very informative, and has excellent appendices. There is also great maps and good explanations.

I bought this to add to my Byzantine book collection and wow it is full of information. Comparing to some of my other books, I found this one to have a slew of new information. So glad I purchased.

Great deal for this amazing work. Highly recommend purchasing.

Excellent book full of content all about the empire. I highly recommend that if the Byzantine Empire is a perennial interest for you, you start with this book. This work gives you such a comprehensive overview that you will have a better understanding of where you may want to dive further into the history of this amazing and unique empire. It’s a wee bit on the pricey side but it’s far and away worth the money. This amount of knowledge I would have paid a substantial amount of money for. The price point is a steal.

More a series of articles arranged in chronological order than a coherent narrative. Not really suitable for the general reader.

Good
