The second volume of the collected works of Sergei Sergeevich Averintsev (1937–2004) presents his works on Byzantium and the Latin West. This book, a continuation of the six-volume collection, aims to fully reflect the scope and diversity of the author's scholarly and spiritual legacy, revealing to the reader the complex and subtle world of the Christian Middle Ages, recreated with profound scholarship and artistic flair.
The central focus of this volume is the monograph "The Poetics of Early Byzantine Literature"—one of S. S. Averintsev's most renowned and influential studies, revealing the depth of the spiritual and artistic uniqueness of Byzantine culture.
In addition to this work, the volume also includes numerous publications, divided into four thematic sections: "Word/Rhetoric," "Thought/Philosophy," "Image/Symbol," and "Tradition/Civilization." These texts cover a wide range of topics, including the history of the medieval literary tradition, the theological aspects of Christian iconography, the similarities and differences between Orthodox and Catholic spirituality, and the role of great Christian ascetics who succeeded in bringing the foundations of this spirituality to their most perfect forms.
The final section of the volume consists of translations by S. S. Averintsev: excerpts from patristic and monastic literature, as well as an extensive collection of Byzantine and Latin medieval poetry, accompanied by introductory articles and notes.
