Summary
Vlada Stanković: Travels through Byzantium
"For centuries, the richness and diversity of Byzantine history and culture have attracted the attention of the curious, scholars alike, mostly Hellenophones and Hellenophiles, but also a wide circle of laymen even in those parts of our (dwindling) planet that had almost no contact with the Byzantine Empire, a Christian empire with its capital in Constantinople. The greater and more meaningful interest in different aspects of Byzantine civilization among those peoples and cultures that belonged to its great circle in the long past, as is the case with the wide area of the Balkans or various spiritual followers of Byzantine orthodoxy. Within the cover of this book are collected twenty different works and communications from the previous ten years, divided into four thematic units, as many as ten of them were either published or read in the form of reports and lectures, and their translation included and a certain revision, which was made in accordance with some new knowledge. Each topic is accompanied by introductory texts, written in the desire to introduce the readers to the problems that are dealt with and described in more detail in individual works."
