“This is the revised English translation from the original work in Russian of the history of the Great Byzantine Empire.  It is the most complete and thorough work on this subject.  From it we get a wonderful panorama of the events and developments of the struggles of early Christianity, both western and eastern, with all of its remains of the wonderful productions of art, architecture, and learning.”—Southwestern Journal of Theology

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Vasiliev’s survey of Byzantine history is unique in the field.  It is complete, including a sketch of literature and art for each period, while all other works of the kind, even the most recent, either are restricted to a shorter time, or neglect some side of eastern civilization. . . . This widely known and highly prized History of the Byzantine Empire needs not the commendation of any reviewer.  Written originally in Russian, it has been turned into English, French, Spanish, and Turkish.  It has always been a favorite with students.”—The Catholic Historical Review

BRILLIANT! Highly recommended read. I read both Vol 1 and 2 and have learned so much more on Byzantium. Mr. Vasiliev has done a truly great job of capturing, compiling and recording so much detail to give us one of the most thorough accounts of the Byzantine Era. Thank you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good summary with length bibliography
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2001
Like Bury's volumes which correct much of Gibbons' conclusions, this two-volume adds even more modern analysis to Roman and Byzantine history. Unfortunately, the panorama is so vast that two short volumes scarcely suffice for the subject. Vasiliev can barely get into a subject or even episode before he has to leave it for another. Sometimes he gives a longer biography of a cartographer or ancient traveler than to an emperor. If you'd like to skim over the Roman period from its founding to its overthrow, you'll find this light and interesting reading. If you'd prefer drama and greater detail, try Gibbon and Bury.

Both volumes of Vasiliev's Byzantine History are excellent. Vasiliev is regarded as one of the top historians and this is well proved by his published work. I am happy I could find his Byzantine History through Amazon, for a good price as this kind of books is generally quite expensive.
