Abstract

On the example of six scribes whose names and dates of activity are known, this article discusses the styles of calligraphy current in Constantinople during the second half of Alexis Comnenus’ reign (c. 1100-1118), compares these styles to those of the preceding period, and proposes a socio-political explanation for their different character.
