This book applies scientific demographic methods to the study of
Byzantine peasantry in a period of feudalization. The author shows
that the number of peasants declined in the fourteenth and
fifteenth centuries for reasons that had less to do with
catastrophes than with internal social developments. Her book makes
the first thorough analysis of this rural society, and one that
draws on all available sources. It focuses on village structure and
family or kinship groups as well as social and demographic trends.
