Sinopsis

In The Alexiad, Anna Komnene describes the political and military history of the Byzantine Empire during the reign of her father, EmperoráAlexios I. The text is a reference on the Byzantium of theáHigh Middle Ages, documenting the Byzantine EmpireâÇÖs interaction witháthe Crusadesáand highlighting the conflicting perceptions of the East and West in the early 12th century.TheáAlexiad, written in 1148 AD, is divided into 15 books. Its scope is limited to the duration of AlexiosâÇÖ reign, which it is thus able to depict in full detail, especially regarding political relations between the Byzantine Empire and western European powers. TheáAlexiadáremains one of the few primary sources recording Byzantine reactions to both the Great Schism of 1054 and the First Crusade,áas well as documenting first-hand the decline of Byzantine cultural influence in both eastern and western Europe.This case laminate collectorâÇÖs edition includes a Victorian inspired dust-jacket.á
