The first four studies in this volume by Jean-Claude Cheynet,
specially translated from French for publication here, present a
broad-ranging analysis of the Byzantine aristocracy of the 8th-12th
centuries. Along with the other articles in the first part, they
examine the evolution of aristocratic families and the composition
of this group, the relative importance of landholding and public
office, the notion of 'civilian' and 'military' families, and
patterns of inheritance. In the second part, the focus is on the
Byzantine army, with studies looking both at the position of
aristocrats within it, and more generally at the effectiveness of
the army itself, notably in the campaigns in Asia Minor against the
Arabs and the Turks.
