Imperial ideology and political thought in Byzantium (1204-1330)

"This is the first systematic study of Byzantine imperial ideology, court rhetoric, and political thought after the Latin conquest of Constantinople in 1204 - in the Nicaean state (1204-1261) and during the early period of the restored empire of the Palaiologoi. The book explores Byzantine political imagination at a time of crisis when the empire ceased to be a first-rate power in the Mediterranean."--Jacket
