Book Description
Angeliki Laiou (1941-2008), one of the leading Byzantinists of her generation, broke new ground in the study of the social and economic history of the Byzantine Empire. This is the first of three volumes to be published posthumously in the Variorum Collected Studies Series and brings together eight articles published between 1993 and 2009. The first five articles concern the status of women as evidenced through legal, narrative, hagiographical and archival sources, while the final three investigate conceptions of law and justice, the vocabulary and typology of peasant rebellions, and the form of political agreements in Byzantine society.
