The book "Empires of the Middle Ages", edited by the renowned medieval historian Sylvain Guggenheim, brings together for the first time under one cover works describing the formation and development of 16 empires in different parts of the world. The aim of this collection is to cover similar political formations within a long chronological period on a planetary scale. The structure of the material is based on Guggenheim's division of empires into three groups: empires-universals (such as the Carolingian Empire, Byzantium, the Mongol and Chinese Empires, etc.), empires isolated from the rest of the world (such as the Carolingian Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Mongol and Chinese Empires, etc.), empires isolated from the rest of the world, etc.), empires isolated in a certain geographical space (Bulgarian, Serbian, Japanese, Latin empires of Constantinople, sun empires of Latin America), and empires with dispersed territories (Germanic Ottoman Empire, Norman Empire, Plantagenet Empire, Thalassocratic empires of Venice and Srivijaya). The articles by the authors, among them both distinguished scholars and bright young researchers, are characterized by the originality of their approaches, rich in facts and conclusions, which are of undoubted interest not only for specialists, but also for the widest range of history lovers.
