Excerpt from The Cambridge Medieval History, Vol. 4: The Eastern Roman Empire (717-1453) Our chief thanks are also due to Professor Bury, without whose aid our task in a volume treating of Byzantine history could hardly have been accomplished. He has read most of the chapters in proof, and has made a number of invaluable suggestions upon them. Besides contributing a summary to Chapter V, he has written for us the Introduction to'the volume, in which he explains its general plan and defines the place of Byzantium in universal history. A volume dealing with subjects which lie apart from the more frequented paths of medieval studies has laid the Editors under many obligations to specialists. Professor A. A. Bevan has given the kindest help in the transliteration of Arabic, and Professor E. G. Browne in that of Turkish names, while Dr E. H. Minns has revised the forms of names in Slavonic languages; we owe much to their criticism and advice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
