Abstract
In the VIIth century and the first part of it, the syrian, palestinian and egyptian areas were under three sucesive political rules: the byzantine, the persian and the islamic ones. Both the last ones have had dominion over the representative city of Jerusalem. Through the literary sources of that century, we try to determine how these two nonchristian rules were confronted by the christians inhabitants living in these regions. These are the Byzantine sensations.
