MEDIEVAL ACADEMY REPRINTS FOR TEACHING
The Art of the Byzantine Empire 312–1453
Sources and Documents
Cyril Mango
An anthology of translated histories, chronicles, saints’ lives, theological treatises, and accounts present an
in-depth analysis of Byzantine art focusing on Constantinople. First published in 1972.
‘The prevailing view of Byzantine authors is that their art was highly true to nature. A perusal of the texts
collected here will confirm this statement … To us, such views appear rather perplexing, for we regard
Byzantine art as being abstract rather than naturalistic, and we expect to find in the written sources some
reflection of our judgment.’
