拜占庭的赠礼：东罗马帝国对西欧、阿拉伯世界和斯拉夫地区的文化影响
(uk) Colin Wells
The Byzantine Empire, also known as the Eastern Roman Empire, was a country that was once prosperous and now has long perished. Its capital, Constantinople, occupies the key point of land and water transportation, and has therefore become a center of commerce and trade, gathering wealth from all over the world. But what is less noticed is that the Byzantine Empire was also the center of cultural dissemination. The culture of ancient Greece and Christianity spread outward from Byzantium, deeply affecting Western Europe, Arabia and the Slavic world, and thus shaping the world. Using the personal activities of cultural communicators as clues, the author tells how Byzantine cultural heritage spread outwards and what attitudes the recipients had towards these heritages. The author discusses the process of cultural dissemination against the historical background and presents a vivid historical picture to readers.
