Politics and Tradition Between Rome, Ravenna and Constantinople: A Study of Cass

Description: Politics and Tradition Between Rome, Ravenna and Constantinople by M. Shane Bjornlie Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This study examines the historical context of Cassiodorus Variae as a collection, rather than as an assemblage of individual case studies on sixth-century Italy. It reveals the authors motives in preparing the epistolary collection and, in doing so, sheds new light on early medieval political, ecclesiastical, fiscal and legal affairs. Publisher Description The Variae of Cassiodorus have long been valued as an epistolary collection offering a window into political and cultural life in a so-called barbarian successor state in sixth-century Italy. However, this study is the first to treat them as more than an assemblage of individual case studies and to analyse the collections wider historical context. M. Shane Bjornlie highlights the insights the Variae provide into early medieval political, ecclesiastical, fiscal and legal affairs and the influence of the political and military turbulence of Justinians reconquest of Italy and of political and cultural exchanges between Italy and Constantinople. The book also explores how Cassiodorus revised, updated and assembled the Variae for publication and what this reveals about his motives for publishing an epistolary record and for his own political life at a crucial period of transformation for the Roman world. Author Biography M. Shane Bjornlie is Assistant Professor of Roman and Late Antique History at Claremont McKenna College. His research interests include ethnography, late-antique letter collections, ancient political culture and the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.
