Christian Historiography between Empires, 4th-8th Centuries

This volume includes papers on Christian historiography in the Eastern Mediterranean. The contributors to this volume — specialists in Late Antique and Byzantine, Syriac, Georgian, Armenian, and Arabic studies — have investigated the construction of the Christian historiographic traditions from the fourth to the eighth century, at the geographic, linguistic and disciplinary borders. This volume should be read as complementary to the first two volumes in the <i>Beyond the Fathers</i> series, entitled <i>New Themes, New Styles</i>, and <i>Apocalypticism and Eschatology</i> in Late Antiquity.
