  300–800 AD is the time of late antiquity and the early middle ages: the 
  transformation of the classical world, the beginnings of Europe and of 
  Islam, and the evolution of Byzantium. TTH makes available sources 
  translated from Greek, Latin, Syriac, Coptic, Arabic, Georgian, Gothic and 
  Armenian. Each volume provides an expert scholarly translation, with an 
  introduction setting texts and authors in context, and with notes on content, 
  interpretation and debates.
