The volume presents highly well in its original green textured cloth, with the gilt titling and publisher's colophon to the spine remaining wonderfully bright and entirely unoxidised. There is a touch of shelf-wear, confined to minor bumping and slight rubbing at the spine ends and the very tips of the corners, but the boards are otherwise sharp and free from marks. The binding is impeccably tight and square, showing no lean whatsoever. Internally, the book is pristine; the text block is remarkably bright, crisp, and clean, completely free from foxing, handling marks, or standard previous ownership signatures. A robust, highly attractive example of this scarce hardcover reprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This is a scarce hardcover reprint of Dmitri Obolensky’s seminal scholarly work, originally issued by Cambridge University Press.

Dmitri Obolensky meticulously traces the origins of the Bogomil sect from its Middle Eastern roots, analysing how it adapted dualistic Manichaean and Paulician doctrines to flourish in the Balkans. Beyond its regional significance, the study highlights Bogomilism as a crucial bridge between Eastern Orthodoxy and later Western heresies, illuminating its profound ideological influence on the Cathars of Southern France and the Patarenes of Italy. An essential reference for historians, theologians, and scholars of the Byzantine Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55393844527443,"sku":"6212","price":57.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261012_153642.jpg?v=1792078286","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-bogomils-dmitri-obolensky","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
