The arrival of the Seljuk Turks in Anatolia forms an indispensable part of modern Turkish discourse on national identity, but Western scholars, by contrast, have rarely included the Anatolian Turks in their discussions about the formation of European nations or the transformation of the Near East. The Turkish penetration of Byzantine Asia Minor is primarily conceived of as a conflict between empires, sedentary and nomadic groups, or religious and ethnic entities. This book proposes a new narrative, which begins with the waning influence of Constantinople and Cairo over large parts of Anatolia and the Byzantine-Muslim borderlands, as well as the failure of the nascent Seljuk sultanate to supplant them as a leading supra-regional force. In both Byzantine Anatolia and regions of the Muslim heartlands, local elites and regional powers came to the fore as holders of political authority and rivals in incessant power struggles. Turkish warrior groups quickly assumed a leading role in this process, not because of their raids and conquests, but because of their intrusion into pre-existing social networks. They exploited administrative tools and local resources and thus gained the acceptance of local rulers and their subjects. Nuclei of lordships came into being, which could evolve into larger territorial units. There was no Byzantine decline nor Turkish triumph but, rather, the driving force of change was the successful interaction between these two spheres.

The Cartulary of the Lembos monastery near Smyrna, preserved in Vind. hist. gr. 125, is one of the richest and historically most important collections of legal documents that has come down to us from the Byzantine world. After its restoration by Emperor John III Vatatzes, the Lembos monastery quickly developed into one of the leading imperial foundations in Byzantine Asia Minor during the Nicaean Empire and the early Palaiologan period. The 207 pieces preserved in the monastery’s cartulary were, for the greatest part, issued in the years 1224–1294 by a broad range of public authorities, such as the imperial court, state officials, various law courts, the metropolis of Smyrna, and local notaries. The collection constitutes a prime source for secular and ecclesiastical institutions, fiscal administration, land use, rural economy, topography, and prosopography of Byzantine Asia Minor and thirteenth-century Byzantium. This is the first complete critical and annotated edition of the cartulary with detailed English summaries and replaces the partial edition of F. Miklosich and J. Müller in the Acta et Diplomata graeca medii aevi series of 1871.
