Summary
Constantine the Great in the Byzantine and Serbian Traditions
The book Constantine the Great in the Byzantine and Serbian Traditions was created in collaboration with SANU and the Textbook Institute, whose chief editor is academician Ljubomir Maksimović. The idea of publishing such a book consists in reminding of the year 2013, in which the 1700th year of the Edict of Milan was marked. The commemoration of this event with exceptional historical consequences, which, on a global scale, reach all the way to our time, consisted of a series of public lectures in which seven prominent researchers (B. Krsmanović, R. Popović, V. Ivanišević, S. Ćurčić, S. Marjanović – Dušanić, D. Popović, G. Subotić) tried to present some of the important aspects of Constantine's legacy in various domains. The entire life's work of the author of the Edict of Milan (313), which paved the way for the creation of Christian Europe, strongly influenced the medieval life of Serbia and its people, and as the organizer himself points out, Serbs have always "had a special relationship with Constantine."
