We Can Not Give Up on Research Universities
While America’s research universities have become ideological monoliths and have failed to deliver sound liberal education, Warren Treadgold rejects conservative calls to abolish or move resources away from them. Treadgold believes the problem of politically conformist universities are the result of fifty years of corrupted hiring policies. To save the schools, Treadgold proposes a whole new system by which faculty and staff can be drawn from a b…
A Strategy for Reforming American Universities
Warren Treadgold believes it might finally be possible to achieve real higher education reform
Film, History and Memory
Using an interdisciplinary approach, Film, History and Memory broadens the focus from 'history', the study of past events, to 'memory', the processes – individual, generational, collective or state-dr
Alicia Simpson. Niketas Choniates
Alicia Simpson’s unusually accomplished first book is also the first book-length study of the history of Nicetas Choniates. Simpson describes Nicetas as “the very best of Byzantine historians” (298), which may be a slight exaggeration; I would rank him second, after Procopius of Caesarea, though ahead of Michael Psellus and Anna Comnena. Nicetas’s history is a vivid and incisive description of the decline of Byzantium during the years from 1118 t…

Standardized Numbers in the Byzantine Army
Many of the statistics that appear in sources for Byzantine armies and their pay show a pattern of roundness and uniformity. While some scholars have taken this as evidence that the statistics are unreliable, the consistency of the pattern indicates that the Byzantine army, like the Roman army, deliberately preferred standardized numbers. Such standardization offered great advantages in mustering, deploying, and paying a large and well-organized …

The Diplomatic Career and Historical Work of Olympiodorus of Thebes
Olympiodorus in the Roman Empire of the late fourth and early fifth centuries. An Egyptian, and a convinced but discreet pagan, he knew Greek, Latin, and evidently Coptic. He studied philosophy, wrote history and poetry, and pursued a public career as a diplomat. His diplomatic service included an embassy to the Huns in 412, at least one more embassy to 'barbarian tribes', and probably a mission in 424-5 from the Eastern Roman Empire to the Weste…

Photius Before His Patriarchate
Photius (patriarch of Constantinople 858–67, 877–86) was born c. 813. His father Sergius, a wealthy official, was exiled along with Photius for opposing Iconoclasm, evidently in 833. During this exile, which lasted until 842, Photius read voraciously. Later, probably in 845, he catalogued his reading in his Bibliotheca . Yet Photius composed neither the Bibliotheca nor his other pre-858 work as formal scholarly literature, for which the contempor…

The Empress Theophano
A History of the Byzantine State and Society
This is the first comprehensive and up-to-date history of Byzantium to appear in almost sixty years, and the first ever to cover both the Byzantine state and Byzantine society. It begins in A.D. 285, when the emperor Diocletian separated what became Byzantium from the western Roman Empire, and ends in 1461, when the last Byzantine outposts fell to the Ottoman Turks. Spanning twelve centuries and three continents, the Byzantine Empire linked the a…
