The Byzantine World

The Byzantine World (1970) by J.M. Hussey – Hutchinson University Library
Sold by Crappy Old Books – Where the margins may crumble, but the knowledge holds fast.

Step beyond the ruins of Rome and into the shimmering, scheming, icon-filled world of Byzantium. J.M. Hussey’s The Byzantine World offers a concise, intelligent, and admirably accessible introduction to one of history’s most misunderstood empires. From emperors in golden slippers to monks arguing over theology and icons, Hussey captures the essence of a civilisation that stubbornly refused to fade quietly into history.

Our copy? Let’s say it’s got some... character. Possibly annotated by a disgruntled theology student in the 1980s and very possibly held together by pure Byzantine willpower. Dog-eared, foxed, and mildly musty – just the way we like them.

First page was coming out but I glued it back in using magical powers and pvc glue.
