Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
A peer-reviewed article in Dumbarton Oaks Papers, the leading English-language journal of Byzantine studies, tier one, matching the tier the map gives comparable peer-reviewed journal articles; used here for a seventh-century estimate of church and monastic landholding that the article itself attributes to an earlier scholar, V. G. Vasilievsky, rather than presenting as Charanis's own finding. NotesDiscusses the long-run growth of Byzantine church and monastic property and reports a modern authority's (V. G. Vasilievsky's) estimate that by the end of the seventh century about one third of the Empire's usable land was held by the church and its monasteries.
