Presenting new literary and historical interpretations of the sixth-century writer Procopius of Caesarea, the major historian of Justinian's reign, this volume aims to encourage dialogue and collaboration between international scholars. Although scholarship on Procopius has flourished since 2004, when the last monograph in English on Procopius was published, there has not been a collection of essays on the subject since 2000. Work on Procopius since 2004 has been surveyed by Geoffrey Greatrex in his international bibliography; Peter Sarris has revised the 1966 Penguin Classics translation of, and introduced, Procopius' Secret History (2007); and Anthony Kaldellis has edited, translated and introduced Procopius' Secret History, with related texts (2010), and has recently revised and modernised H.B. Dewing's Loeb translation of Procopius' Wars as The Wars of Justinian in 2014. This volume capitalises on the renaissance in Procopius-related studies by showcasing recent work on Procopius in all its diversity and vibrancy. It offers approaches that shed new light on Procopius' texts by comparing them with a variety of relevant textual sources. In particular, the volume pays close attention to the text and examines what it achieves as a literary work and what it says as an historical product.

The Alexiad, written in the twelfth century by a Byzantine princess, Anna Komnene, tells the story of the Byzantine Empire during the reign of her father, offering accounts of its political and military history, including its involvement with the First Crusade. This book introduces new methods of research for studying the Alexiad, aiming primarily at analyzing Anna Komnene's literary expression. The book's approach focuses mainly on the author, the subject, the structure and the inner stylistic features, as well as the genre itself. The result is a substantially new outlook on the main Byzantine historiographical work of the twelfth century.

This book tells the extraordinary story of Theodore II Laskaris, an emperor who ruled over the Byzantine state of Nicaea established in Asia Minor after the fall of Constantinople to the crusaders in 1204. Theodore Laskaris was a man of literary talent and keen intellect. His action-filled life, youthful mentality, anxiety about communal identity (Anatolian, Roman, and Hellenic), ambitious reforms cut short by an early death, and thoughts and feelings are all reconstructed on the basis of his rich and varied writings. His original philosophy, also explored here, led him to a critique of scholasticism in the West, a mathematically inspired theology, and a political vision of Hellenism. A personal biography, a ruler's biography, and an intellectual biography, this highly illustrated book opens a vista onto the eastern Mediterranean, Anatolia, and the Balkans in the thirteenth century, as seen from the vantage point of a key political actor and commentator.

En 429 ap. J.-C., Théodose II, qui règne alors à Constantinople, décide de réaliser un recueil des lois émises depuis Constantin. Promulgué en 438, le Code Théodosien entre en vigueur en janvier 439. Source précieuse pour l’histoire de l’Antiquité tardive, ce code, qui rassemble plus de 2 500 constitutions, n’a cependant jamais fait l’objet d’une traduction française, une tâche de longue haleine à laquelle s’est attelé un groupe de savants français. Les multiples problèmes que pose le Theodosianus ont conduit les responsables de cette entreprise à l’accompagner de rencontres internationales pluridisciplinaires. Ce sont les résultats des journées tenues à Lille - les deuxièmes du genre - qui font l’objet du présent volume, au fait des derniers développements de la recherche. Il s’ouvre par un ensemble de six contributions offrant de nouvelles réflexions sur la question cruciale des conditions dans lesquelles ce recueil a été élaboré, réalisé, publié et diffusé. Scrutant avec soin les pratiques de gouvernement, les politiques de maintien de l’ordre, l’organisation de l’administration et l’action de l’État, les neuf contributions de la deuxième partie bousculent un certain nombre d’idées reçues sur le fonctionnement de l’Empire tardif. Quant aux contributions de la troisième partie, au nombre de neuf également, elles renouvellent la lecture de diverses lois relatives d’une part à la fiscalité, à l’économie et à l’approvisionnement de Rome, d’autre part au personnel des mines, aux esclaves et aux femmes.
