Really the only thing of its kind on an important Byzantine family.
Together with the Paleologos and Comnenos families, the Dukas family supplied one of the major threads in the history of the Eastern Roman Empire -- including several emperors -- although the author makes the point that the name was also a title and that not all those who bore it were blood relations to each other. Nevertheless, this volume attempts to provide sketches of all known Doukai, with detailed citations to the sources where they are mentioned and with familial relationships noted where they can be determined. Polemis invented many of the techniques later followed by later scholars and his work has held up well.
Extremely rare 1st Edition.
