Dialogues and Debates from Late
Antiquity to Late Byzantium
Dialogues and Debates from Late Antiquity to Late Byzantium
offers the first
overall discussion of the literary and philosophical dialogue tradition in Greek
from imperial Rome to the end of the Byzantine empire and beyond. Sixteen
case studies combine theoretical approaches with in-depth analysis and include
comparisons with the neighbouring Syriac, Georgian, Armenian and Latin tra-
ditions. Following an introduction and a discussion of Plutarch as a writer of
dialogues, other chapters consider the
Erostrophus,
a philosophical dialogue in
Syriac, John Chrysostom’s
On Priesthood,
issues of literariness and complexity
in the Greek
Adversus Iudaeos
dialogues, the
Trophies of Damascus,
Maximus
Confessor’s
Liber Asceticus
and the middle Byzantine apocryphal revelation dia-
logues. The volume demonstrates a new frequency in middle and late Byzantium
of rhetorical, theological and literary dialogues, concomitant with the increasing
rhetoricisation of Byzantine literature, and argues for a move towards new and
exciting experiments. Individual chapters examine the Platonising and anti-Latin
dialogues written in the context of Anselm of Havelberg’s visits to Constantino-
ple, the theological dialogue by Soterichos Panteugenos, the dialogues of Niketas
‘of Maroneia’ and the literary dialogues by Theodore Prodromos, all from the
twelfth century. The final chapters explore dialogues from the empire’s Georgian
periphery and discuss late Byzantine philosophical, satirical and verse dialogues
by Nikephoros Gregoras, Manuel II Palaiologos and George Scholarios, with spe-
cial attention to issues of form, dramatisation and performance.
