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.

从公元590年到世纪末，拜占庭帝国先是与波斯交战，然后又与在伊斯兰教新信仰下联合起来的阿拉伯军队交战。在宗教冲突的过程中，罗马和拜占庭的主教和皇帝使用书信来谈判他们对普遍和地方权力的要求。该项目将增加我们对中世纪早期欧洲和拜占庭通过书信交流处理宗教冲突的方式的理解，以及当这些外交途径失败时发生了什么。它将阐明世纪是否真的是黑暗时代的开始，或者是文化复兴的时期。
