Byzantine Monemvasia
Author: Charis KalligaPublisher: Oxbow Books Limited
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The foundation of Monemvasia in the southern Peloponnese has always been related to the raid of the Slavs, for which the sources are few but the literature is vast. This study seeks to analyse existing sources and evaluate and correlate them in the hope that some facts can be established to illuminate the evolution of the city. In his introduction, Sir Steven Runciman writes, `Dr Kalligas has brought to her task a close acquaintance both of the written sources and of the place itself, together with a broad outlook and a wise and careful judgement. All this gives her work great authority.'

Using Italian
Author: J. J. KinderPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521485562
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 492
Book Description
This 2002 book is a guide to Italian usage for students who have already acquired the basics of the language and wish to extend their knowledge. Unlike conventional grammars, it gives special attention to those areas of vocabulary and grammar which cause most difficulty to English-speakers. Careful consideration is given throughout to questions of style, register, and politeness which are essential to achieving an appropriate level of formality or informality in writing and speech. It surveys the contemporary linguistic scene in Italy and gives ample space to the new varieties of Italian that are emerging in modern Italy. The influence of the dialects in shaping the development of Italian is also acknowledged. Clear, readable and easy to consult via its two indexes, this is an essential reference for learners seeking access to the finer nuances of the Italian language.
