Helen C. Evans with Brandie Ratliff, eds.  BYZANTIUM AND ISLAM: AGE OF TRANSITION: 7th - 9th CENTURY.  New Haven: Yale University Press, 2012.  Hardcover quarto (12" x 9.5") with dust-jacket, xx + 332 pages, decorated endpapers.  This groundbreaking volume explores both the changes and continuities in the Byzantine Empire from the seventh to the ninth century.  As the period opened, the Empire's southern provinces in North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean were about to experience historic upheavals when their Christian and Jewish communities encountered the emerging Islamic world.  This extraordinary age is brought vividly to life by leading international scholars, their writings accompanied by sumptuous illustrations of the period's most notable arts and artifacts.
