About This Item
Rochester: University of Rochester Press. Good with no dust jacket. 2003. Hardcover. 1580461255 . KB28...x, 283 pp. Index, notes on contributors. Octavo. Black cloth with silver gilt to spine. Covers are clean and unmarked, interior is clean as well. A nice copy. "The historical settings treated here stretch from the Roman Hellenism of Justin Martyr in the second century to the ninth-century programs of religious and moral correction by resourceful Carolingian reformers. Baptismal orations, funerary inscriptions, Christian narratives about the conversion of stage-performers, a bronze statue of Constantine, early Byzantine ethnographic writings, and re-located relics are among the book's imaginative points of entry. This focused collection of essays by leading scholars, and the afterword by Neil McLynn, should ignite conversations among students of religious conversion and related processes of cultural interaction, diffusion, and change both in the historical sub-fields of Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages and well beyond. "; Studies In Comparative History; Vol. 4; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 296 pages .
