The study of the family is one of the major lacunas in Byzantine Studies. Angeliki Laiou remarked in 1989 that ¿the study of the Byzantine family is still in its infancy¿, and this assertion remains true today. The present volume addresses this lacuna. It comprises 19 chapters written by international experts in the field which take a variety of approaches to the study of the Byzantine family, and embrace a chronological span from the later Roman to the late Byzantine Empire.
