Sailing From Byzantium by Colin Wells
A lively reinterpretation of Byzantium’s role in shaping the modern West, arguing that its political institutions, commercial networks, artistic traditions, legal codes, and religious and intellectual heritage were transmitted across the Mediterranean after its decline and helped catalyze economic, cultural, and intellectual transformations in medieval and early modern Europe, recasting Byzantium as a dynamic bridge between antiquity and the Renaissance rather than a stagnant backwater.
