Description
In this volume Roland Scheel paints a completely new picture of the cultural relations between the Byzantine Empire and the Scandinavian countries, and shows that the respective "otherness" led to a new and powerful semantic cipher around the year 1200. This priming proved to be so important that it provided an identity that lasted throughout the entire Middle Ages and up to modern times. This study is complemented by a comprehensive index of sources.

Content
Roland Scheel draws a fundamentally new picture of cultural relations between Byzantium and the Scandinavian countries. Around 1200, the respective 'other' becomes a powerful semantic cipher. Thus charged with meaning, the cipher proves to be so significant that it has an identity-shaping effect throughout the Middle Ages up until modernity in Europe. The study is complemented by extensive register of sources.>
