'This is a very good book. It is a pleasure to read, not only for its contents, but also because of its beautiful production by the Harvard University Press. Mr Brand sets out to describe in detail the events of the sad quarter of a century which elapsed between the death of the Emperor Manuel I Comnenus and the Fourth Crusade; and to trace the terrible deterioration of relations between Byzantium and the Western Powers which made the sack and occupation of Constantinople (1204) by the latter inevitable. His narrative is absorbing' Romilly Jenkins, review for Speculum, Vol. 44, No. 1, Jan., 1969, pp. 116-119). Seller Inventory # 17213

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. First Edition. Dustjacket has rubbing to bottom front corner of spine with colour loss and pinhole tear. DJ back panel is lightly browned. Light browning to textblock. ; 406 pages; From 1081 to 1180-- under the three Comneni emperors, Alexius I, John II, and Manuel I- the Byzantine Empire had been a power of major importance, wielding arms and influence in the Holy Land and the Italian penisula. This volume is an examination of the turbulent twenty-four years in which Constantinople, once splendid and celebrated, gradually disintegrated under its last rulers, who had inherited all the problems of an aging social system and possessed few of the talents needed to resolve them. The confrontations between Byzantium and the Western powers became increasingly important and form the major theme of Mr. Brand's study. Seller Inventory # 3832
