About This Item
University of California Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1985. Hardcover. 0520055179 . Bumping to head of spine has caused slight warping to cloth covering spine. Former owner's name on ffep. ; A magisterial assessment of the major historian of early Byzantium, by one of today's leading historians of late antiquity. Most of our understanding of the age of Justinian is based on the works of Procopius of Caesarea, the most important Greek historian of late antiquity. Many modern histories of the period virtually paraphrase his major work, the Wars. Today, questions of how we are to reconcile the Wars with Procopius' two minor works-the panegyrical Building and the sensational Secret History, still dominates current scholarship. ; The Transformation of the Classical Heritage, Vol X; 310 pages .
