Although there has been significant scholarly attention on just war (jus ad bellum) in Byzantium and an increasing interest in the study of the Byzantine culture of war, military trickery and jus in bello (just conduct of war) remain largely unexplored by Byzantinists. This paper aims to fill this gap by studying the theory of military trickery and ethics in Byzantium, c. 900 -1204. It explores and analyses this aspect of jus in bello in Byzantium by employing methods and concepts from Byzantine history, war studies and military ethics. The paper begins by examining the impact of dominant literary traditions (Classical and Biblical) on Byzantine perceptions of military trickery, and then explores the reception and development of Classical and Biblical notions of military trickery and ethics by different sub-cultures in Byzantium (e. g., theologians, jurists, tacticians, historians, orators, poets). The author then attempts to frame a more complete theory of Byzantine military trickery and ethics, and to reflect on the relationship between jus ad bellum and jus in bello in Byzantium.

战略和拜占庭战争文化：拜占庭军事诡计和伦理理论（约 900-1204 年）

尽管拜占庭的正义战争（jus ad bellum）引起了学术界的极大关注，并且对拜占庭战争文化研究的兴趣日益浓厚，但拜占庭主义者在很大程度上仍未探索军事诡计和战争法（jus in bello）。本文旨在通过研究拜占庭时期的军事诡计和道德理论来填补这一空白。900 -1204。它通过运用拜占庭历史、战争研究和军事伦理的方法和概念来探索和分析拜占庭战时法的这一方面。本文首先考察了占主导地位的文学传统（古典和圣经）对拜占庭对军事诡计的看法的影响，然后探讨了拜占庭不同亚文化（例如，神学家、法学家、战术家、历史学家、演说家、诗人）。然后作者试图构建一个更完整的拜占庭军事诡计和道德理论，并反思拜占庭战争法与战时法的关系。
