Risorse esterne che parlano di questo libro Wikipedia in inglese (40)O City of Byzantium is the first English translation of a history which chronicles the period of Byzantine history from 1118 to 1207. The historian Niketas Choniates provides an eye-witness account of the inexorable events that led to the destruction of the longest lived Christian empire in history, and to the ultimate catastrophe of the fall of Constantinople in 1204 to the Fourth Crusade. For the student of the Middles Ages who cannot read Greek, and for the historians and the general public, this volume contains one of the most important historical accounts of the Middle Ages. Recorded in detail are the political, economic, social, and religious causes of alienation between the Latin West and the Greek East that separated the two halves of the Christian world and broke apart the great bulwark of European civilization.

Was there a conspiracy to keep this book away from the Rubes? Did Wayne State University Press go bankrupt, and the copyright be engaged in some monster lawsuit? or what? Very Readable translation involving a wonderful cast of characters and a monstrous act of Christendom.
Written about 1215, probably in Nicaea.
Due to disambiguation, there are eight other readers, so I'm not so surprized. Still it's not many for such a good book! ( )
