This volume provides an overview of the development of the Patriarchate of Constantinople as central ecclesiastical institution of the Byzantine Empire from Late Antiquity to the Early Ottoman period (4th to 15th century CE).
The historical role of Photius has, all too often, been viewed only as it concerned the rift between the Western and Eastern Churches. He has been regarded either as the “Father of the Schism” or as the staunch defender of Greek Orthodoxy against the encroachments of Rome. It is hoped that by presenting the Homilies of Photius in English translation these one-sided views may to some extent be corrected. For, surprising though it may appear, we shall not find in the Homilies a single reference to the Papacy. When they are not purely didactic, the Homilies are dominated by such topics as the suppression of the Iconoclast movement, the re-establishment of sacred painting, the propagation of the true faith among heretics, and the quelling of internal division in the Church of Constantinople. -From the Introduction
Excerpt from Constantinople It has not often happened in history that a city which has been the capital of an empire during more than a thousand years has, within twenty-four hours, become the capital of another, founded and developed by a race having a totally different language, a hostile religion and traditions opposed at every point to those of the vanquished. The change after Mehemet's conquest must have been as prodigious as it was sudden, and, on the whole, what took place is greatly to the credit of the conqueror. From that day to this there has never, I believe, been anything like a persecution of Chris tians or Jews in Constantinople. Taking Stamboul, Pera, and Scutari together, there are probably more Christians in the capital to-day than Mussulmans, a fact which can only be attributed to principles of toleration for which the Turks have not generally received credit. The principal churches were indeed converted into mosques, and the cross was everywhere replaced by the crescent, while the innumerable paint ings and mosaics representing sacred personages, saints, and angels were immediately, and in most cases permanently, hidden from view by a thick coating of whitewash. The rigid simplicity of the Mohammedan faith substituted in their place a few names - Allah, Mohammed, Abu Bekr, Hassan, Hossein, Omar, Osman, and Ali, and every mosque in Stamboul, and perhaps throughout the Mohammedan world, is decorated with those eight names magnificently written in Arabic char acters upon eight shields which are hung around the interior. But the Turk was not destructive. On the contrary, he took the Christian Church as his model for his own place of wor ship, and almost all the Turkish mosques are more or less direct imitations of St. Sophia.

Excerpt from Letters From Constantinople These letters are enlarged from letters I wrote three years ago, during the bright days I enjoyed at Constantinople. I went there with my husband, who required change and rest, to see our son, who was then, and still is, Secretary of Embassy there. Though our sons letters had led us to expect much, the extreme loveliness of the Bosphorus, and the interest of the historical monuments in and around Constantinople, took us completely by surprise. We were received with the greatest kindness by Sir Clare Ford, our Ambassador, and by all the members of the British Embassy. H.M. the Sultan bestowed on us marks of his Imperial favour such as had seldom before been bestowed on mere travellers.
