  • Predrag Komatina

摘要

The chapter argues that Byzantine church policy, with the missionaries in Bulgaria, among the Russians, the Khazars, in Moravia, and with the Muslims defeated and the Armenians compelled to at least partially and temporarily abandon their heresy, in 864–866 was at the height of its power, but then it experienced a downfall with the Bulgarian ruler’s turning to Rome, which brought Photius’ conflict with Rome and the pope to its peak at the council of 867.
