An esoteric work, dealing with whether or not there was actual intellectual debate between Western Europe and Byzantines in the 1100's. Sadly, there were a lot of straw men running around rather than direct debate....pity.
Dr. Kennedy's collection of fourteen articles is grouped into three sections dealing with 1) Late Antiquity to Islam in Syria, 2)Byzantine Islamic diplomatic contacts in the period 650 – 750. 3) Early Islamic state Admin .systems. Episodic but informative. His essay likening the collapse of the Abbasid Empire after 900 CE to a Commonwealth like devolution is particularly interesting.
A solid, framework for further reading in the field of mostly Mediterranean history. We have here political history from Theodosius II to Maurice, with a good emphasis on North Africa and the near East, as well as Europe. The sections on Architecture and Religion are a little jargon heavy. One does get fairly lively prose, so it reads pretty well. Spoiler alert: the Western Empire falls! This is the new edition revised for 2000 CE.

One last, slightly petty point: I was irritated by Cameron's continual reference to Anglophone universities as "Anglo-Saxon" universities. This seems anachronistic when talking about scholarship produced in English universities; it is entirely out-of-place when talking about universities in Ireland or the United States. Perhaps Cameron was seeking to inspire in non-Byzantinists the same kind of irritation which Byzantinists surely feel when they see someone using the adjective "byzantine" as a pejorative. If so, touchée.… (meer)
