In the interdisciplinary anthology Byzantine Gardens and Beyond, an international group of scholars from different disciplines contribute to the study of the Byzantine garden and its survival and significance after the fall of Byzantium. Just as the Byzantine Empire in historical times united different cultures and constituted a borderland between East and West, the garden theme in this volume serves as a meeting point for studies in Byzantine philology, archaeology, Islamology, botany, literary studies, and Nordic and Slavic languages. Both utilitarian and aesthetic issues are addressed, and both contemporary and historical phenomena are touched upon. The research contributions collected here were originally presented at the symposium "Byzantine Gardens and Beyond" in Uppsala in April 2011, organized by the Nordic Byzantine Network in collaboration with SCAS. One of the articles in the anthology is a revised and expanded version of one of the most important studies of Byzantine gardens for twenty years. The other eight articles are based on entirely new material. The pictorial material is very rich and partly previously unpublished in color. The project concerns the publication of the volume in the series Studia Byzantina Upsaliensia, funds intended to cover image costs, language editing and printing costs.
