Byzantium from the Ninth Century to the Fourth Crusade
註釋This volume is concerned with the history and the social and institutional structures of the Byzantine empire in the period from its revival after the Arab assaults of the 8th century up to its disintegration and dismemberment when Constantinople was sacked by the Crusaders in 1204 (the subject of the final article). A distinctive feature of Nicolas Oikonomides' work is his ability to submit to detailed analysis varied types of source material, literary, legal, epigraphic, artistic and to extract from these the maximum of information. Particular articles deal with the political and ideological significance of works of art, for instance the mosaics of Saint Sophia, with the development of Byzantine legal texts, and with the world of Byzantium's eastern frontier.
