This is a major contribution to the understanding of events that prevented either a consolidation of Byzantium and its survival or Serbian succession and the continuity of a variant of the Byzantine civilization." ?Dragos Kostich, The American Historical Review.George Christos Soulis, History: Berkeley1927-1966 Associate ProfessorGeorge Soulis had come to Berkeley in June, 1965, with the express intention of reviving the study of Byzantine history that had suffered an eclipse of several years. No one was better qualified for this task, for he was an acknowledged authority who had already demonstrated an ability to attract students to the Byzantine and Slavic fields. Close to the completion of a major study of ?Byzantium and the Slavs during the reign of Tsar Stephen Dushan and his successors,? he had been invited to present a rapport at the International Congress of Byzantinists at Oxford, September, 1966, in connection with a long paper of his friend, Professor George Ostrogorsky. In the short time granted to him here he had laid the foundations of a Byzantine revival and had enjoyed his work in the Department of History, where he encountered old friends and made new ones.His first, natural inclination had been to specialize in the classics, but he soon realized that his major interest was the history of the Byzantine Empire and, more specifically, its legacy to the Slavs. Thus in his dissertation (1958) he studied the building of an empire by the Serbian Tsar Stephen Dushan who adhered so closely to the traditions of Byzantine political ideology. As his own knowledge of the field deepened, he became ever more convinced that Byzantine history would retain its attraction only to the degree that it was studied as a cultural influence on the subsequent development of Eastern Europe and the Near East. With his death Byzantine and Slavic studies have lost one of their acknowledged aristoi, and several great American universities have had occasion to realize how truly irreplaceable he was.
