By: Francis Dvornik
Professor Dvornik’s classic study traces the influence of Near Eastern and Greek political speculation into the early Christian and Byzantine periods.
Title information
In a series of lectures at Cambridge University in 1946, Professor Dvornik addressed the idea of kingship in the ancient Near East and its influence on Jewish, Greek, and Hellenistic political thought. The enthusiastic reception of these lectures encouraged the author toward broader and more intensive research, culminating in this volume, which extends discussion on the influence of Near Eastern and Greek political speculation into the early Christian and the Byzantine periods.
