«This book is not only the obvious first choice for all who wish to be initiated in Byzantine history and civilization, but also a profitable read and a model of scholarship for novice and accomplished Byzantinists alike.»
Sviatoslav Dmitriev, Ball State University, USA
«The great merit of this book is that it is exactly what it says it is in the title: concise. No other book on Byzantium manages to pack so much useful information into so few pages.»
