註釋
The Byzantine Orthodox Church, although perhaps the strongest institution in the empire after the reconquesta, was also in a state of turmoil, racked by the persisting schism of the Arsenites and by moral and disciplinary decay - the aftereffects of the hated Union of Lyons (1274). In spite of what has been characterized as the "disastrous reign" of Andronikos, the Orthodox church managed to produce the most aggressively reform-minded patriarch of its history: Athanasios. The Church and Social Reform studies the nature and extent of his social reforms and political involvement during his two tenures on the patriarchal throne of Constantinople.
