We would like to thank all contributors to both this volume and the conference, as well as all those who helped organise and subsidise both events. The Craven Fund Committee, the Oxford Byzantine Studies Committee and the British Academy provided generous grants towards the cost of the meeting. Finally, our thanks go to Julian Deahl for agreeing to publish these papers and to him, Marcella Mulder and others at Brill for their work on this manuscript.
