Description

Explore the unique history of Byzantine social and religious life with this scholarly work from Oxford University Press. Part of the Onassis Series in Hellenic Culture, this book examines the ritual of adelphopoiesis, a practice that pronounces two men as brothers. Originally appearing as a spiritual blessing within the monastic communities of late antiquity, this ritual evolved into a widespread social networking strategy used by lay people starting in the ninth century. The text tracks how this practice moved from monastic origins to broader social applications that even persisted into recent times. By looking at the intersection of religious and social history, the book explains how social practices become ritualized. It also examines the ways these rituals faced attempts at control from both ecclesiastical and legal authorities. This is an essential resource for those studying the history of Christian ritual, Byzantine society, and the evolution of social structures in the medieval world.
