The prominent Greek Byzantine scholar Tilemachos Loungis offers the reading public another inspired and valuable historical study. "Medieval History of Italy 400 – 1125 AD, from Italian-Greek texts" is a series of coherent university lectures on the historical journey of early medieval Italy.
An original and unprecedented study in the Greek bibliography, sourced from authentic Italian-Greek texts and documents. Armed with the power and accuracy of the dialectical materialist approach. And, of course, with the vehicle of the author's well-known vivid narrative style.
The tumultuous transition to feudalism, the oscillation between the West and the East, the role of the papacy, the essential yet peculiar transformations within the fabric of Italian society, the stormy and contradictory path through the stranglehold of conflict and, often, medieval barbarism, all of which were to form the early cradle of the magnificent Renaissance revelation a few centuries later.
A comprehensive scientific treatise, capable of captivating both the historian and the lay reader.
