Description and Table of Contents

Description

This dense brick of a book starts with a warning to the unwary--an (untranslated) Latin dedication. It was written by a Czech priest who eventually became a Harvard professor of Byzantine history. He informs readers that this book enlarges upon a Harvard course on Slavic history from the 13th to the 17th centuries.
