Письма Игнатия Диакона как источник по истории византийской экономической жизни

— Analyses a little-known correspondence of Ignatius Diacon (referred to as Metropolite of Nicaea in historiographical sources) as a source for the economic history of the Byzantine Empire in the first half of the 9th century. Some precise and definite answers are offered by Každan on the basis of this material concerning e. g. the system of land cultivation, the social status of patrikioi and misthioi, trade and handicraft, the fiscal system.
