520    This volume brings together a set of fundamental 
       contributions, many translated into English for this 
       publication, along with an important introduction. 
       Together these explore the role of Greek among Christian 
       communities in the late antique and Byzantine East (late 
       Roman Oriens), specifically in the areas outside of the 
       immediate sway of Constantinople and imperial Asia Minor. 
       The local identities based around indigenous eastern 
       Christian languages (Syriac, Coptic, Armenian, Georgian, 
       etc.) and post-Chalcedonian doctrinal confessions 
       (Miaphysite, Church of the East, Melkite, Maronite) were 
       solidifying precisely as the Byzantine polity in the East 
       was extinguished by the Arab conquests of the seventh 
       century. In this multilayered cultural environment, Greek 
       was a common social touchstone for all of these Christian 
       communities, not only because of the shared Greek heritage
       of the early Church, but also because of the continued 
       value of Greek theological, hagiographical, and liturgical
       writings.--|cSource other than Library of Congress
