Rezensionen

'This volume does sterling work in bringing together the wide variety of difference-markers across the centuries and the many locations that the East Romans called home' - Byzantinische Zeitschrift, Volume 117/1 (2024).

'... the provision of this handbook on identity in Byzantium is an encouraging development for Byzantinists themselves and for scholars in adjacent disciplinary fields ... This volume represents a snapshot of identity in Byzantium as that term was understood by many scholars around the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly as far as the political, ethnic and religious identities of the late antique and Middle Byzantine empires were concerned' - The Byzantine Review.
