内容説明

The studies in this volume reflect the author's interest in history as it was lived: not only the social and economic structures, but the men and women, collectively and individually, who made them function. The role of women in Byzantine economy and society is found to be much more important than had been believed; their participation in trade and manufacturing is established, as is the role of aristocratic women in the economic affairs of the household; the question of female literacy is also discussed. Two studies on the Byzantine family, based in large part on the legal sources, examine the formation of matrimonial ties as well as the practice of divorce and concubinage in the 13th century. The second part of the volume is focused on the economy of exchange in Byzantium between 1204 and the fall of the Empire. Byzantine trade and manufacturing are placed in the context of the economic developments of the eastern Mediterranean, with the conclusion that, whereas the activities of Byzantine and Greek merchants were much more considerable than scholars had thought, they were subordinated to the needs of the Italian-dominated trade system, while Byzantine manufacturing declined. Les etudes assemblees dans ce volume refletent l'interAt de leur auteur pour l'histoire telle qu'elle etait vecue; non seulement en ce qui concerne les structures sociales et economiques, mais aussi les hommes et les femmes, collectivement et individuellement, qui permettaient A celles-ci de fonctionner. Le rAle des femmes dans la societe et l'economie byzantine se revele comme ayant beaucoup plus d'importance qu'on ne le pensait auparavant; leur participation au commerce et A l'industrie est un fait etabli, tout comme l'est le rAle des femmes aristocrates dans les affaires economiques du foyer. Le theme de l'alphabetisation des femmes est aussi soueve. Deux etudes sur la famille byzantine, se basant en grande partie sur des sources legales, exa
