Justinian - first US edition

by H. N. Turteltaub

A brilliant "how it might have been" novel based on the life of Justinian II, Byzantine emperor. Justinian is the only emperor to ever regain the throne after being overthrown and exiled, and this gripping narrative pulls the reader into the world of an ecumenical synod, where the debate of whether Christ had one will or two wills splits the Church. The world of Constantinople comes alive.

Book has black boards with spine in gold; unadorned end papers; book is in near-fine condition, clean inside and out.

Jacket is fine, always protected, price intact at $26.95.
