Ritual and Earthquakes in Constantinople: Liturgy, Ecology, and Empire
Roosien, Mark (Yale University, Connecticut)
Located on the North Anatolian Fault, Constantinople was frequently shaken by earthquakes. This book argues that ritual and theological responses to these events shaped Byzantine conceptions of God and the environment and transformed Constantinople's self-understanding as the capital of the oikoumene and center of divine action in history.
