Abstract

L'Empire romain d'Orient a vu le jour sur les rives du Bosphore, lorsque Constantin, premier empereur chrétien, fonda la nouvelle Rome, Constantinople. Pendant un millénaire, dans la continuité avec les institutions romaines, une civilisation brillante s'y est développée, au carrefour de l'Europe et de l'Asie. Elle a ainsi participé à la formation de l'Europe moderne, en conservant un État qui, ailleurs, s'était décomposé, en transmettant le droit, en maintenant tant bien que mal des relations avec le monde méditerranéen chrétien et musulman. Mais surtout, malgré les crises, elle a forgé un modèle politique, celui de la monarchie de droit divin. Byzance a laissé un triple héritage, temporel, qui passa aux Turcs, spirituel, qui resta aux peuples orthodoxes, et intellectuel, dont profita surtout l'Occident. Politique, militaire, économique, religieuse, intellectuelle et artistique, c'est toute la richesse de cet Empire que s'attache à présenter ici l'auteur.

Abstract

The Byzantine emperor Leo VI (886-912), was not a general or even a soldier, like his predecessors, but a scholar, and it was the religious education he gained under the tutelage of the patriarch Photios that was to distinguish him as an unusual ruler. This book analyses Leo's literary output, focusing on his deployment of ideological principles and religious obligations to distinguish the characteristics of the Christian oikoumene from the Islamic caliphate, primarily in his military manual known as the Taktika. It also examines in depth his 113 legislative Novels, with particular attention to their theological prolegomena, showing how the emperor's religious sensibilities find expression in his reshaping of the legal code to bring it into closer accord with Byzantine canon law. Meredith L. D. Riedel argues that the impact of his religious faith transformed Byzantine cultural identity and influenced his successors, establishing the Macedonian dynasty as a 'golden age' in Byzantium.0.
