"The years before and after the battle of Manzikert (1071) mark a turning point in
the history of the Byzantine Empire. The invasions of the Seljuk Turks in the east
and the encroachment of the Normans from the west altered the balance of power in
the eastern Mediterranean and forced the Byzantines to confront new threats to their
survival. These threats came at a time when internal rivalries made an effective military
response all but impossible and led to a significant transformation of the Byzantine
polity under the Komnenoi. The Continuation of the Chronicle of John Skylitzes, now
translated for the first time, provides a contemporary view of these troubled times.
An extension of the principal source for the middle Byzantine period, and a subtle
reworking of the History of Michael Attaleiates, the Continuation offers a high court
official's narrative of the events and personages that shaped the course of Byzantine
history on the eve of the Crusades."
