Syria (Syria Prote, Syria Deutera, Syria Euphratesia)
by Klaus-Peter Todt and Vest Bernd Andreas
In this volume the byzantinist Klaus-Peter Todt and the orientalist Bernd Andreas Vest present the results of their many years of research into the historical geography of the Byzantine region of Syria (corresponding to the present-day central and northern Syria, south eastern Turkey and northern Lebanon) from the 3rd to the early 14th century AD. Their work is based mainly on Greek, Latin, Syriac, Arabic and Armenian written sources as well as on documentation of the architectural legacy (ruined cities, Crusader castles, churches and monasteries). The work contains an extensive introduction to the geography, history (including social, cultural and religious history), demography, economy and logistics of the region, followed by detailed research results for each of the individual locations in the form of almost 2,000 lemmas.
