But tensions between orthodoxy and heresy that were inherent in monotheism broke the unitary empires of Byzantium and Baghdad into the looser, more pluralistic commonwealths of Eastern Christendom and Islam. With rare breadth of vision, Fowden traces this transition from empire to commonwealth, and in the process exposes the sources of major cultural contours that still play a determining role in Europe and southwest Asia. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aCywilizacja islamska$y622-1258$2jhpk 606 $aReligia i kultura$2jhpk 606 $aMonoteizm$2jhpk 607 $aRzym (pan?stwo)$xcywilizacja$2jhpk 607 $aBizantyjskie, Cesarstwo$xcywilizacja$2jhpk 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aAbbasids. 610 $aArabia, southern. 610 $aBaghdad. 610 $aBuddhism. 610 $aCaliphate. 610 $aCappadocia. 610 $aDiocletian, Roman emperor. 610 $aEdessa. 610 $aEthiopia. 610 $aGhassanid Arabs. 610 $aGoths. 610 $aHimyar. 610 $aIberia (Eastern Georgia). 610 $aIndian Ocean. 610 $aIslamic Empire. 610 $aJerusalem. 610 $aJulian, Roman emperor. 610 $aKebra Nagast. 610 $aKhusrau I, Sasanian emperor. 610 $aManichaeism. 610 $aMazdaism. 610 $aNajran. 610 $aNestorianism. 610 $aOttomans. 610 $aRomano-Iranian relations. 610 $aSasanian Empire. 610 $aSpain. 610 $aUmayyads. 610 $aZarathushtra. 610 $acommonwealth. 610 $apolytheism. 615 0$aCywilizacja islamska 615 0$aReligia i kultura. 615 0$aMonoteizm. 676 $a949.501 700 $aFowden$b Garth$0442889 712 02$aPrinceton University Press.$4pbl 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248053803316 996 $aEmpire to commonwealth$9750911 997 $aUNISA
