　　"The real incarnation of the Byzantine Empire"

　　Vasiev (1867-1953) is the outstanding Byzantine scholar in the 20th century，He and Arabia in Byzantine、Historical research and historical materials in the fields of Slavia and other fields leave countless good works。April 1953，At the 9th International Byzantine Conference held at Salonica, Greece，The chairman of the conference called Vasiev as "the real incarnation of the Byzantine Empire"。

　　Vasiev's praise is closely related to its legendary romantic life。1867，Vasiev was born in a soldier family in St. Petersburg，During the college period, in classical Greek、Latin、Persian、Arabic and other classical — bet365 Play online games medieval and Oriental language learning，and have a strong interest in the charming place of Greek culture in the East。Subsequent，His proposal in Vasievsky, the authority of Byzantine, Russia，Starting from reading Edward Yoshimoto's "History of Roman Empire Dead", it has embarked on the professional road of Byzantine Studies;，He goes to Paris to study，further enhance Arabic and Ethiopian ability，and go to the Byzantine Empire site -Saint Catherine Monastery of the Sinai Peninsula to engage in archeological research。In the mid -1920s，Vasiev was affected by his friend Rostov Caifu (Roman historian in the 20th century，The invitation of "The Social Economic History of the Roman Empire")，Go to the United States，From teaching at the University of Wisconsin，And at the Byzantine Academic Research Center -Donbaden Oak Garden Research Center concentrated on research，Finally became a admiration for the academic community。Vasiev's life traveling、学，Although it is all the body，But in Byzantine History Research Ferry，Also exploring the true meaning of life in music。

　　Vasiev's many works，"The History of Byzantine Empire" has the most publications，The wide range of reading range，The most influence。The book was published in Russian in 1917，After the revision supplement，1952 Edition became its final authoritative version，traffic in the world。The book records the history bet365 best casino games of Byzantine Empire 324-1453，Detailed to the ruler of each dynasty in the order of time、major historical events、Politics、Economy、Military、Religious activities, etc.，At the same time, it is more specially expanded to detailed the history of each period、Literature and art and other cultural fields such as，It is one of the most important works in the history of Byzantine。

　　Important academic views have not been out of date to date

　　Why does the book become a best -selling book in Byzantine? the author thinks，Mainly because it has the following characteristics。

　　First，The fair English Byzantine Ting History。Since the 18th century，Yoshimoto's "History of the Roman Empire Dead" prevails for more than 200 years，Affecting several generations from all over the world's understanding of Rome -Byzantine。It is undeniable，Yoshimoto's works are beautiful due to the language of language、Writing simplified、Rich in content，Focusing by the academic and ordinary readers。but but，The "Byzantine Empire is declining due to the victory of Christianity and barbarians" showed by Yoshimoto，It also led to several generations of people's understanding of Byzantine's history.。early 20th century，Start with John Boru's "History of Roman Empire Deadial Dead" from John Bori，Scholars in the English world have always worked hard to change the decline of the world to Byzantine、Dark、Forwarding view。Vasiev, bet365 best casino games who grew up in this academic environment，It discusses the restraint of Yoshimoto，Look at Byzantine History with a more fair attitude，Bring a breeze for Byzantine History Research in the English World。

　　2，Popular language、Content comprehensive。The book writes popular、Simple、Easy to understand，It is a textbook used by Vasiev for university teaching。Because Vasiev is not from the United States and the United States，Therefore, the book is not as difficult and complicated as the academic works in English in English。In terms of content，It is not stuck in traditional political and military history，Instead, pay attention to the laws of various periods、Religious、Literature and artistic achievements，The history presented is particularly full and full。

　　third，Literature is rich。Vasiev quoted various types of evidence in the book: including a large number of original text materials，involved grass paper、Coin、Historical research materials such as sealing and archeological mining，Also pay close attention to the research of relevant authoritative scholars worldwide，and the most cutting -edge research results at that time。The eliminated Byzantine Greek、Latin、Persian、Arabic literature，It also includes Russian、English、Serbian text、Hyundai Greek、German、Research Documents in Language and French and other languages。For example，The book has been referenced in the early 20th century to worship the pioneer of Chan Ting Cao Paper bet365 best casino games Research I. Bell、J. Muspero's research results; the book 1952 version of the newly added "Byzantine Record System" section，Quoting Ostrogsky in 1951 "Provenia" published in Serbian，To know，Ostrogsky is an important research authority for Byzantine feudal system in the 20th century。

　　fourth，Objectiveness。Except for the complete presentation of Byzantine history，The view of many key issues in the book is still authoritative to date。How many examples are tried: the reasons for Constantine's change of Christianity。Classic discussions from Swiss historian Bakhart since the 19th century- "Constantine does not believe in Christianity，He is a genius politician, a genius politician around the ambition and strong power，Since the people who sacrifice everything in order to achieve their world goals "，The problem is named "Constantine Problem"，Classic questions for the enthusiastic discussion of the academic community。Vasiev After inspecting different opinions，Put forward a comprehensive point of view: "Even if Constantine knows about Christianity，His political strategy will inevitably affect his attitude towards Christianity，and Christianity will help him in many aspects。He understands，Christianity will be the main connection factor among all ethnic groups of the empire。"This view is still an authoritative perspective about the study of the medieval Christianity and the study of Byzantine。About whether bet365 Play online games the bloodlines of the Greek Peninsula and the Greeks are completely Slaviza，19th -century German historian Farmeyer was "the first open place、The person who expresses this judgment "。This belt has a nationalist judgment，It has caused nearly a hundred years of disputes in the Western world。Vasiev thinks，The historical materials based on the traditional views held by Farmeerye are biased bias，Comprehensive historical materials can be known，"Since the end of the 6th century, there has been a considerable large -scale Slay Mrs. Immigration Movement in Greece，But it did not cause the Greek Peninsula to be completely Slavia，Nor leading the Greeks' complete extinction "。The latest research results on this issue are now，Discovery through the detection of ancient Greek DNA samples，Most of the modern Greek DNA comes from ancient Greek residents。

　　I think，For domestic readers，The significance of the translation and publishing of the book is that the reader can understand the communication between China during the Byzantine Empire with the help of this book。Now，China ’s“ Silk Road ”research has become increasingly from the academic community to the public under the promotion of the“ Belt and Road ”initiative。This book is about the interaction between the Byzantine Empire and the East、Discussion on the Western Biography of Chinese Silk，helps to promote professional scholars、General readers' understanding of China Bet365 app download during the Middle Ages，helps enhance national self -confidence and world consciousness。
