The classical historian J. B. Bury (1861-1927) was the author of a
history of Greece (also reissued in this series) which served as a
standard textbook for over a century. He also wrote on the later
history of the Roman empire, and, in this 1911 work, examines the
text (of which he provides an edition) of the 'Kletorologion' of
Philotheos, an otherwise unknown official at the court of Byzantine
Emperor Leo VI in the late ninth century. The work is a guide to
precedence and court hierarchy, which at this time were of great
political and social importance. Bury uses it to throw light on an
administrative process in a period from which few other
administrative documents have survived, but also works backwards
from it to the far better recorded period of the reign of
Justinian, demonstrating the likely developments of the imperial
system in the intervening three centuries.
