LImpero bizantino nella cultura francese e italiana da Luigi XIV alla Rivoluzione

About this book

«Un tissu de rĂ©voltes, de sĂ©ditions et de perfidies». È forse questa l'immagine dell'Impero bizantino che, uscita dalla penna di Montesquieu nel 1734, in quella riflessione sulla caducitĂ  degli imperi – quello romano soprattutto – pubblicata col titolo di ConsidĂ©rations sur les causes de la grandeur des Romains et de leur dĂ©cadence, ha avuto maggior seguito presso i posteri. Emblema delle posizioni illuministiche in materia bizantina essa Ăš stata estesa a tutto il Settecento che, di conseguenza, Ăš diventato il secolo «anti-bizantino» per eccellenza. E dopo Montesquieu Voltaire che, nel 1768, ne Le pyrrhonisme de l'histoire, definĂŹ la storia bizantina «l'opprobre de l'esprit humain, comme l'empire grec Ă©tait l'opprobre de la terre», o ancora, a fine secolo, Edward Gibbon che dalle pagine del Decline and Fall la dichiarava un «tedious and uniform tale of weakness and misery». Ma Ăš veramente tutta l'etĂ  dei Lumi un unico attacco compatto a Bisanzio, alle sue manifestazioni politiche, religiose, intellettuali? Come questo volume desidera evidenziare, il panorama appare piĂč complesso e articolato presentando sfumature che smentiscono un quadro omogeneo e uniforme.
