Editorial Reviews

Review

“…Le lecteur aura deja compris qu’il s’agit d’un livre remarquable a plusieurs titres. I. Biliarsky renouvelle la comprehension d’un texte fondamental de la culture bulgare medievale, montre le poids de la tradition biblique dans la formation de l’ideologie politique au Moyen Age balkanique et, last but not least, restitue une piece essentielle de la litterature apocryphe medievale, un domaine encore trop peu explore. Le livre profitera sans aucun doute a la fois aux philologues et aux historiens et, en general, a tous ceux interesses par l’ideologie du pouvoir, en particulier dans l’orbite culturelle byzantine.”
