The rise of the Christian bishop as a key figure of authority in Late Antiquity depended heavily on the episcopal ability to mobilize and manipulate personal networks both locally and globally. This volume explores the nature, quality and breadth of various types of episcopal relationships in order to understand how these relationships were established, cultivated and put to use across cultural, linguistic, social and geographical boundaries.
