Abstract

Studies on everyday life are centred on housing conditions, eating and drinking, clothing, hygiene and medical care, professions, land and sea communications, and generally production and consumption. The material range occupies a broad area here ; besides the object-related specificity one can frequently denote also a mental function as carrier and/or symbol of concepts or values. Therefore, the international symposium held in Cambridge 2001, which counted the Viennese Institute of Byzantine Studies among its organizers, placed "well-being" as a topic in its material, legal and philosophical-religious components wishing to position it as a multiform and interdisciplinary common venture. The twenty-three contributions, which - preceded by an introduction to the general state of research and future perspectives - from the publication of symposium's proceedings, treat accordingly among other things aspects such as town planning, perfumes in the secular and church sphere, magical practices and holy physicians, clothing as status symbols and forms of abundance and shortage in the Byzantine diet.
