"This book is a microhistory of eleventh-century Byzantium, built around the biography
of the state official Michael Attaleiates. Dimitris Krallis presents Byzantium as
a cohesive, ever-evolving, dynamic, Roman political community, built on traditions
of Roman governance and Hellenic culture. In the eleventh century, Byzantium faced
a crisis as it navigated a shifting international environment of feudal polities,
merchant republics, steppe migrations, and a rapidly transforming Islamic world. Attaleiates'
life, from provincial birth to Constantinopolitan death, and career, as a member of
an ancient empire's officialdom, raise questions of identity, family, education, governance,
elite culture, Romanness, Hellenism, science and skepticism, as well as political
ideology during this period"
