The invasions of the Seljuk Turks in the east and the encroachment of the Normans from the west altered the balance of power in the eastern Mediterranean and forced the Byzantines to confront new threats to their survival. These threats came at a time when internal rivalries made an effective military response all but impossible and led to a significant transformation of the Byzantine polity under the Komnenoi. The Continuation of the Chronicle of John Skylitzes, now translated for the first time, provides a contemporary view of these troubled times. An extension of the principal source for the middle Byzantine period, and a subtle reworking of the History of Michael Attaleiates, the Continuation offers a high court official's narrative of the events and personages that shaped the course of Byzantine history on the eve of the Crusades.". 410 0$aMedieval Mediterranean ;$vVolume 120. 607 $aByzantine Empire$vEarly works to 1800 676 $a949.502 700 $aScylitzes$b John$factive 1081.$0200304 702 $aMcGeer$b Eric 702 $aNesbitt$b John W. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826126603321 996 $aByzantium in the time of troubles$93961004 997 $aUNINA
