This volume is designed as a primary source for the history of the first Byzantine iconoclasm (730-787 AD) and the iconodoulic reaction (787-815 AD). The author argues that Stephen's opposition to the emperor Constantine V was as much political as it was religious.

The period of Byzantine iconoclasm remains in many ways a "Dark Age". In this volume, the author continues her re-examination of a key source for the time, the Life of Stephen the Younger, aiming to establish a solid methodology for reading a hagiographical text as a historical source.
