Description

Explore the complexities of tenth-century warfare with this scholarly study of the Sylloge Tacticorum. Published by Routledge, this book examines a vital Byzantine military manual to understand how Byzantium addressed the challenges of its wars with the Arabs and other regional powers. This work goes beyond mere combat tactics to connect military manuals with broader aspects of Byzantine life. Readers will gain insights into how military strategy relates to education, politics, and the conventions used in historical narratives and literary texts. The text investigates the origins of the Sylloge, exploring when it was written and the identity of its author. By identifying which passages from classical or earlier works were included, the book explains the reasoning behind Byzantine imitation of older texts. It serves as a deep dive into the intersection of practical handbooks and the sophisticated literary traditions of the Byzantine Empire, making it an essential resource for students and historians of ancient civilization.
