The First Ever Study In English Dedicated To Albania In Late Antiquity To The Medieval Period-- Edited By Robert G. Hoyland. Includes Bibliographical References And Indexes. "The first publication in English to discuss the nature and identity of the polity in the East Caucasus referred to by modern scholars as (Caucasian) Albania. The sporadic and fragmentary character of our sources for this polity means that it is difficult to construct a continuous narrative of its history, and so we offer here studies by leading specialists on particular aspects of it."-- Provided by publisher This volume is the first publication in English to discuss the nature and identity of the polity in the East Caucasus referred to by modern scholars as (Caucasian) Albania.
