A pronoia was a type of conditional grant from the emperor, often
to soldiers, of various properties and privileges. In large measure
the institution of pronoia characterized social and economic
relations in later Byzantium, and its study is the study of later
Byzantium. Filling the need for a comprehensive study of the
institution, this book examines the origin, evolution and
characteristics of pronoia, focusing particularly on the later
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. But the book is much more than
a study of a single institution. With a broad chronological scope
extending from the mid-tenth to the mid-fifteenth century, it
incorporates the latest understanding of Byzantine agrarian
relations, taxation, administration and the economy, as it deals
with relations between the emperor, monastic and lay landholders,
including soldiers and peasants. Particular attention is paid to
the relation between the pronoia and Western European, Slavic and
Middle Eastern institutions, especially the Ottoman timar.
