Rezensionen
Michael Palaiologos and the Publics of the Byzantine Empire in Exile succeeds in illuminating the intricacies of Michael's policy and their enduring impact on Byzantine statecraft, serving as the foundation for further research on governance strategies, power networks, and transclass actions, conceived as societal phenomena. Undoubtedly, it is a significant contribution to Byzantine studies. (Lorenzo Maria Ciolfi, The Byzantine Review, Vol. 7, 2025)
