| Streszczenie: | This book is a study of the political attitudes that emerged among different
segments of Byzantine society in response to the Ottoman expansion. Its
principal aims are, first, to categorize these attitudes with regard to specific
groupings among the urban and rural populations of the Byzantine Empire
(e.g. the aristocracy, merchants, lower classes, ecclesiastical and monastic
circles) and, secondly, to explore the underlying social and economic factors,
besides the more apparent political and religious ones, that played a
role in the formation of political attitudes. In an atmosphere of extreme
political and military instability marked by a number of civil wars and foreign
invasions during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, people from
different segments of Byzantine society in different regions of the empire
sought by various means to secure their best interests in the face of the
rapidly expanding Ottoman Empire. |
