Chapter 22: Byzantine literature (290AD-1453AD)
Byzantine literature refers to literature of the Byzantine Empire written in Atticizing, Medieval and early Modern Greek.
Byzantine literature combined Greek and Christian civilization on the common foundation of the Roman political system. This type of literature was set in the intellectual and ethnographic atmosphere of the Near East. Byzantine literature possesses four primary cultural elements: Greek, Christian, Roman, and Oriental.
Aside from personal correspondence, literature of this period was primarily written in the Atticizing style. Some early literature of this period was written in Latin; some of the works from the Latin Empire were written in French.
Chronicles, distinct from historic, arose in this period. Encyclopedias also flourished in this period.[8]
