Over 1000 letters survive in Greek and Latin from 590 to the end of the seventh century, when the Byzantine empire was at war first with Persia, and then with the Arab forces united under the new faith of Islam. Bishops and Emperors of Rome and Byzantium used letters to negotiate their claims to universal and local power in the course of conflicts over religion. The project will increase our understanding of the ways in which religious conflict was handled through letter-exchange in early Medieval Europe and Byzantium, and what happened when these diplomatic avenues failed. It will shed light on the question of whether the seventh century was really the beginning of the Dark Ages, or a period of cultural regeneration.

从 590 年到 7 世纪末，现存有超过 1000 封希腊语和拉丁语信件，当时拜占庭帝国首先与波斯交战，然后又与在新的伊斯兰教信仰下联合起来的阿拉伯军队交战。罗马和拜占庭的主教和皇帝在宗教冲突过程中使用信件来谈判他们对普遍和地方权力的主张。该项目将加深我们对中世纪早期欧洲和拜占庭通过信件往来处理宗教冲突的方式的了解，以及当这些外交途径失败时会发生什么。它将揭示七世纪是否真的是黑暗时代的开始，还是文化复兴时期的问题。
