Christian Raffensperger refutes this conception and offers a new frame for two hundred years of history, one in which Rus' is understood as part of medieval Europe and East is not so neatly divided from West.With the aid of Latin sources, the author brings to light the considerable political, religious, marital, and economic ties among European kingdoms, including Rus', restoring a historical record rendered blank by Rusianmonastic chroniclers as well as modern scholars ideologically motivated to build barriers between East and West. Further, Raffensperger revises the concept of a Byzantine Commonwealth that stood in opposition to Europe-and under which Rus' was subsumed-toward that of a Byzantine Ideal esteemed and emulated by all the states of Europe. In this new context, appropriation of Byzantine customs, law, coinage, art, and architecture in both Rus' and Europe can be understood as an attempt to gain legitimacy and prestige by association with the surviving remnant of the Roman Empire. Reimagining Europe initiates an expansion of history that is sure to challenge ideas of Russian exceptionalism and influence the course of European medieval studies. 410 0$aHarvard historical studies ;$vv. 177. 606 $aChristianity$zKievan Rus 607 $aEurope$xRelations$zKievan Rus 607 $aKievan Rus$xCivilization$xByzantine influences 607 $aKievan Rus$xHistory$y862-1237 607 $aKievan Rus$xRelations$zEurope 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristianity 676 $a947.02 700 $aRaffensperger$b Christian$01030198 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465478603321 996 $aReimagining Europe$92447010 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00683nam1 22002291i 450 001 VAN00026572 005 20240806100332.610 100 $a20041026g1999 |0itac50 ba 101 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aDizionario dell'architettura di pietra$fGiorgio Blanco 210 $aRoma$cCarocci 215 $av.$d30 cm. 463 \1$1001VAN00026575$12001 $a<<1: I >>materiali 620 $dRoma$3VANL000360 700 1$aBlanco$bGiorgio$3VANV022170$023799 712 $aCarocci $3VANV107923$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20241122$gRICA 912 $aVAN00026572 996 $aDizionario dell'architettura di pietra$9725304 997 $aUNICAMPANIA
