The vast collection of 17,000 Byzantine lead seals in the Harvard collections has long been recognized as an important source for the study of the Byzantine provinces. This volume is the fourth in the series of catalogues of geographical seals, and presents photographs, descriptions, and commentaries on the seals from the East.

Byzantium in the Time of Troubles

This beautiful book is a moving tribute to fallen soldiers of the Second World War. Filled with examples of the inscriptions families requested for the headstones of their lost ones, the book builds around these epitaphs a tapestry of past history and present landscapes. The author takes us on a virtual tour of cemeteries and monuments all over Europe where Canadian soldiers are buried. His eloquent descriptions are richly interwoven with background information on relevant events of those years, and together with the many photographs they bring his subject to life.
