This book exposes Michael Attaleiates' engagement with the problem of Byzantine imperial decline some three decades before the Crusades. It suggests that in the History, his account of the empire's eleventh-century drama, Attaleiates creatively appropriates ancient genres and ideas and produces a mature and original critique of contemporary mores that escapes the confines of the dominant political and cultural orthodoxy, seeking solutions to the crisis faced by the Byzantine polity in its distant Roman past. The reader encounters here, in the person of this judge, one of the Empire's most interesting and least studied historians and with him participates in conversations that shaped politics in an era of cataclysmic cultural, economic, social and political change.
