Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium

The Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium (Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium ), abbreviated ODB, is a first time published in 1991 three-volume English-language reference work on the history and culture of the Byzantine Empire, which is published by the Oxford University Press. It is considered the standard lexicon of Byzantine, although the research status of individual posts is now no longer up to date.

It was published by the Russian- American Byzantinist Alexander Kazhdan, who has written many entries themselves. The work contains more than 5,000 lemmas about the history, theology, literature, art, warfare and Demography of the Byzantine Empire. In 1991 it won an outstanding scientific work the R. R. Hawkins Prize of the Association of American Publishers ( Association of American Publishers).
