论修道院与拜占庭帝国文化事业的发展

Discussion on the Development of the Monastery and Culture Cause in The Byzantine Empire

修道院是拜占庭人从事基督教信仰的主要场地,同时也是拜占庭社会文化发展和交流的重要场所。拜占庭文化是一条沟通希腊罗马古典文化与西欧中古文化的重要桥梁,同时对促进东西方世界间文化交流也曾发挥了重要作用。而修道院在拜占庭帝国文化事业发展中,在保存古典文化典籍、培养文化人才、传播文化知识等方面都曾起到了积极作用,促进了拜占庭帝国文化的繁荣以及与周边各民族间的文化交流,对拜占庭文化事业发展产生了深远影响。以修道院为载体的基督教文化,本身即是拜占庭文化事业的重要组成部分。
