"This rich book offers many opportunities for reflection [...] variety lies more in different points of view and approaches than in the choice of contexts. In this sense, the book also offers a lesson in methodology: the reader is given a polyphonic image of Byzantine diplomacy thanks to the ability of both the authors and editors to change, even slightly, their focus and their lenses." Isabella Lazzarini, in Diplomatica 4 (2022).
