This introduction to the arts of the Byzantine era is quite enjoyable, though it starts to sag a little around the second half. Still, Runciman more than meets the challenge of making interesting 1,000 years of art without relying on individual personalities. ( )

Runciman is a brilliant scholar of Byzantium. His knowledge embues his works with a contaigous energy.
