Their basic source is the neglected corpus of bishops? letters in Greek and Latin, the letter being the most significant mode of communication and information-transfer in the period from 410 to 590 CE. The volume brings together into a wider setting a wealth of previous international research on episcopal strategies for dealing with crises of various kinds. Six broad categories of crisis are identified and analysed: population displacement, natural disasters, religious disputes and religious violence, social abuses and the breakdown of the structures of dependence. Individual case-studies of episcopal management are provided for each of these categories. This is the first comprehensive treatment of crisis management in the late-antique world, and the first survey of episcopal letter-writing across the later Roman empire. 410 0$aSupplements to Vigiliae Christianae ;$vv. 121. 606 $aChurch history$yPrimitive and early church, ca. 30-600 606 $aChristian literature, Early$xHistory and criticism 606 $aBishops$vCorrespondence 615 0$aChurch history 615 0$aChristian literature, Early$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aBishops 676 $a270.2 700 $aAllen$b Pauline$f1948-$0295511 701 $aNeil$b Bronwen$0478020 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790409703321 996 $aCrisis management in late antiquity (410-590 CE)$93680167 997 $aUNINA
