Justiniana Prima – An Underestimated Aspect of Justinian`s Church Policy
«Stanislaw Turlej's work on Justinian I the Great's establishment of a new Church province in the Balkans, with a seat in Justiniana Prima (535), offers a novel perspective on the aim and the reasons behind this foundation, which have been a topic of lively international debate among historians, theologians, and archaeologists. The book, based on an illuminating analysis of numerous historical sources, ancient ecclesiastical law, and archaeological data, explains the actual function of the foundation in a completely new light. The publication of this book is a significant achievement for international studies on the period bridging antiquity and the Middle Ages.»
