Zusammenfassung:"A Companion to Byzantine Epistolography introduces and contextualizes the culture of Byzantine letter writing from various socio-historical, material and literary angles. While this culture was long regarded as an ivory-tower pastime of intellectual elites, the eighteen essays in this volume, authored by leading experts in the field, show that epistolography had a vital presence in many areas of Byzantine society, literature and art.
