520    "The Late Byzantine period (1261-1453) is marked by a 
       paradoxical discrepancy between economic weakness and 
       cultural strength. The apparent enigma can be resolved by 
       recognizing that later Byzantine diplomatic strategies, 
       despite or because of diminishing political advantage, 
       relied on an increasingly desirable cultural and artistic 
       heritage. This book reassesses the role of the visual arts
       in this era by examining the imperial image and the gift 
       as reconceived in the final two centuries of the Byzantine
       Empire. In particular it traces a series of luxury objects
       created specifically for diplomatic exchange with such 
       courts as Genoa, Paris and Moscow alongside key examples 
       of imperial imagery and ritual. By questioning how 
       political decline refigured the visual culture of empire, 
       Dr Hilsdale offers a more nuanced and dynamic account of 
       medieval cultural exchange that considers the temporal 
       dimensions of power and the changing fates of empires"--
