[52]From the period of Alexius Ⅰ,in addition to the sterling gold nomisma,six different types of nomismata minted in various kinds of metal have been preserved,cf.Wroth,Byz.Coins Ⅰ,pl.LⅩⅠIand Ⅱ,540 ff.
[53]In actual fact the Byzantine nomisma sank still lower in value.The important imperial rulings()on the questions raised by the tax collectors on this matter are given in Zepos,Jus Ⅰ,319 ff.Cf.Vasiljevskij,‘Materialy’,vol.210,385 ff.;插landon,Alexis I,320 ff.;Ostrogorsky,‘Steuergemeinde’63 ff.;Dolger,Reg.1230,1234,1245,1246,1247.

[56]Cf.the enumerations in the documents of Alexius Ⅰ of May 1086 and April 1088,Rouillard-Collomp,Actes de Lavra Ⅰ,111,and Miklosich-Müller Ⅵ,47.Cf.also the interesting information about the racial composition of the Byzantine army in the seventies and eighties of the eleventh century given by A.A.Vasiliev,‘The Anglo-Saxon Immigration to Byzantium’,Annales de l’Inst.Kondakov 9(1937),58 f.
[57]Cf.Ostrogorsky,Féodalité,26 ff.
[58]Byzantine sources do not provide direct evidence on this,but the numerous and precise references in the Chronicle of the Morea,and in the Venetian documents for the district of Scadar,point to this conclusion.Cf.Ostrogorsky,La féodalité57 ff.and 237 ff.
[59]In Theophylact of Ochrida,Migne,P.G.126,532 f.,it is significant that the recruits are called;for further information cf.Mutafciev,Vojniski zemi 53 ff.,and Xanalatos,Beitrage 44 ff.
[60]插ranis,‘Monastic Properties’90,makes many excellent observations on the question of the pronoia,but he is in error when he believes that the peasant population could keep their independence on a pronoia estate;cf.also 插ranis,‘On the Social Structure and Economic Organization of the Byzantine Empire in the Thirteenth Century and later’,BS 12(1951),142,152 f.On this,however,cf.Dolger,BZ 45(1952),476;Ostrogorsky,La féodalité,71 ff.et passim.

[63]This was rightly pointed out by 插landon,Alexis Ⅰ,283.It is often maintained by scholars,including 插landon,that the 插risticium system was associated with the antimonastic measures of the iconoclasts.This is not,however,the case,for the system was not in itself 插racterized by hostility to monasticism.
[64]Cf.the homily against the practice of granting 插risticia by John,the Patriarch of Antioch,a contemporary of Alexius Ⅰ-his allusion to the iconoclasts here is naturally only polemic;Migne,PG 132,1117 ff.(cf.插landon,Alexis Ⅰ,p.ⅩⅩⅧ f.).Balsamon,however,disapproved of this homily,and Eustathius of Thessalonica also supported the system of 插risticia.

[69]Cf.the numerous documents in which Alexius I bestowed privileges and gifts on Christodoulus and his monastery of St.John Baptist on Patmos,Dolger,Reg.1123,1139,1141,1147,1150,1153,1170,1214.
[70]To explain Byzantine feudalism in terms of borrowing from the West is completely untenable,even though scholars have often advanced this view and still do so.For the opposite view cf.D.Angelov,‘Feodalizmut vuv Vizantija’(Feudalism in Byzantium),Istor.Pregled 2(1946/47),217 ff.;M.J.Sjuzjumov,‘K voprosu ob osobennostjach genezisa i razvitija feodalizma v Vizantii’(On the question of the genesis and development of feudalism in Byzantium),ⅤⅤ17(1960),3 ff.
