Le discours ethnographique à Byzance

This book is about the study of ethnography as a literary genre in Byzantium, that is to say, the Byzantine descriptions of foreign peoples. This is not a study of the Byzantine population according to the methods of modern ethnographic discipline, which would be impossible, given the nature of the sources. The book considers the ethnography as a genre, to emphasize that this is a literary product with a structure and a more or less stable content, despite the fact that its forms and objectives vary from one author to another.
