- Double-weighted statement
- This 400-page monograph (the second volume of a comprehensive study of Byzantine poetry from the seventh to the tenth centuries) is the fruit of many years of dedicated research. The range of sources is all encompassing, covering secular and religious texts; the awareness of the manuscript contexts is admirable; the analyses of texts insightful, stimulating and original; the technical section on metrics is the definitive reference tool for the next several generations. Written in an engaging style, this opens Byzantine poetry to a wide audience, and is accessible to the non-specialist as well as the specialist. It merits double-weighting.
