Arguing that linguistic and cultural frontiers do not always coincide with political ones, it suggests that Byzantine studies should look not only within but also beyond the borders of the Byzantine empire and include the history of Christian populations in the Muslim-ruled Middle East and neighbouring states like Ethiopia and Armenia and integrate more closely with Judaic and Islamic studies. With essays by leading scholars in a wide range of fields, it offers a vision of a richly interconnected eastern Mediterranean and Near East that will be of interest to anyone who studies the premodern world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott Fitzgerald Johnson, \u201cWorlds of Byzantium: Problems, Frameworks, and Opportunity in the Byzantine Near East\u201d<br>Columba Stewart, \u201cEast of Byzantium Revisited: The Study of the Byzantine Near East, Past and Present\u201d<br>Averil Cameron, \u201cByzantium and the Turn to the East\u201d<br>Kevin T. van Bladel, \u201cThe Classical Near East\u201d<br>Christian Raffensperger, \u201cAlternatives to Commonwealth: Modes of Connectivity between Byzantium and Medieval Eastern Europe\u201d<br>Elizabeth S.
