The Reception of Byzantine Culture by the Slavs

Abstract

The culture of the Orthodox Slavs in the Middle Ages was both Byzantine and not Byzantine. There is and has long been debate as to how the two sides of this statement should be presented: whether to stress the cultural dominance of Byzantium, the community of Byzantino-Slav Orthodoxy, or the individuality of the Slavs. In the present paper I offer neither a general survey of the material nor a grand theoretical scheme to solve the problem. Instead I shall outline an approximate approach to the topic, and then indicate with some specific examples how this approach may be useful.
