Byzantium in the Iconoclast Era, c. 680–850 - Leslie (University of Birmingham) Brubaker - Bog

Iconoclasm, the debate about the legitimacy of religious art in Byzantium during the eighth and early ninth centuries, has long gripped the historical imagination. This book reinterprets the history of the period, challenges many traditional assumptions about iconoclasm, and sets it firmly in its broader political, cultural and social-economic context.
