Education and Learning in Byzantine Thessalonike

From the 11th through the 15th century Thessalonike - the “co-capital” along with Constantinople - hosted scholars, schools and libraries that proved crucial for the preservation of Greek learning and the development of education. This book offers snapshots of the city’s intellectual life, by collecting essays and new discoveries both on major scholars (Eustathios, Pediasimos, Triklinios, Blastares) and on less-known figures.
