[Decker, Terry D.]

Aoife,

While I don't have any particular interest in Byzantine, let me send you a
few items I've collected along the way.

Re: Byzantine Foods

A short introduction on Byzantine food can be found in the Oxford
Dictionary of Byzantium (ed. in ch. A.P. Kazhdan) (1991). The lemma
Diet provides a small bibliography.
In addition, from the bibliography of an article (in Dutch) by
a colleague of mine - E.M. van Midden - on this topic:
- - J. Andre, L'alimentation et la cuisine a Rome, Paris 1981
- - H. Eideneier, `Ptochoprodromos' Tafelfreud und Tafelleid',
in Fest und Alltag in Byzanz, G. Prinzing / D. Simon eds.,
Muenchen 1990 (77-90)
- - E. Kislinger, `Ernaehrung. Byzantinisches Reich', in Lexikon
des Mittelalters III, 1986 (2171-74)
- - Ph. Koukoules, Vizantinon vios ke politismos V, Athens 1952
(9-135) (in ODB referred to as: Koukoules, Bios)
- -E. Patlagean, Pauvrete economique et pauvrete sociale a
Byzance. IVe-VIIe s., Paris 1977 (36-53)
- -- in Dutch:
- - E.M. van Midden, Konstantinopel voor lekkerbekken?, in
Lychnari jaargang 7, nummer 3 (30-31) (a non-specialist
introduction)
- - J.M. van Winter, Van soeter cokene: recepten uit de oudheid
en middeleeuwen, Haarlem 1976 (recipes from Antiquity and
Middle Ages)

Most of the books and articles referred to present a general
picture, but their references might help any more in depth
study. I will ask my colleague for further information.
Hope this is of any help

Re: Byzantine Foods

Some additional resources...George Galavaris, *Bread and the Liturgy: The
Symbolism of Early Christian and Byzantine Bread Stamps*.  Also, look
into excavation reports from those expeditions with (published) Byzantine
materials, especially with debris from wells (pottery, and with any
luck, floral and faunal remains analyzed); for example, Charles Hill
Morgan, *The Byzantine Pottery* in the Corinth Excavation series (1942),
published by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens.
