Medieval Hellenism

By Louise Ropes Loomis

Book Overview

Medieval Hellenism is a book written by Louise Ropes Loomis that explores the influence of ancient Greek culture on the medieval world. The book is divided into three sections, each of which examines a different aspect of this influence. The first section discusses the transmission of Greek ideas and texts to the medieval world through the Byzantine Empire and the Arab world. The second section looks at the ways in which medieval scholars and thinkers engaged with these ideas, adapting them to their own cultural and intellectual contexts. The third section focuses on the impact of Greek culture on the arts, including literature, music, and visual art. Throughout the book, Loomis provides detailed examples and case studies to illustrate the complex and multifaceted nature of medieval Hellenism. This book is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of ideas, the transmission of culture, or the interplay between different cultural traditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
