ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY IN BYZANTIUM

,

The author, after years of research, introduces the reader of the present volume to the knowledge of Byzantine technology and engineering.

The Byzantines, despite opinions pointing to the contrary, made great progress in these fields and created brilliant achievements, either in the form of simple and specialized instruments or buildings that boasted complex hydraulic installations. The evolution of astronomy led to the solution of the problem of measuring time using various types of mechanisms, as well as to the establishment of the use of astronomical instruments such as astrolabes.

Research on the measurement of time and astronomy in Byzantium has provided us with a first record on the technology and science of this period. The recording of scientific progress in other fields, which will follow in subsequent volumes, will give a fuller picture and shed more light on this period.
