The Early Byzantine Great Palace in Constantinople, while profoundly influential upon later Western architecture, remains largely unknown, however in this study, a focus upon the operation of ascription of meaning upon forms, and emulation of them in later architecture will enable a sense of the complex, in its physical and social contexts, to be established.

Very richly illustrated, this volume re-frames this exceptional library within its political, economic, historical and artistic context, examining closely both scholarly literature and more than sixty manuscripts considered to be the jewels of the Library.

This volume inventorises the whole historiographical production of Late Antiquity.
