The book of the French historian Ferdinand Shalandon (1875-1921) is devoted to the period of the reign of Emperor Alexei I Komnin (1081-1118), the first emperor from the Komnin dynasty. Founded on great actual material, this work still remains the only consolidated work in the initial period of the reign of the Komnins, and already, therefore, deserves attention. Being the founder of the new dynasty, Alexei I gave Byzantine politics the direction that it retained throughout the entire 12th century. His reign opened a new era in the history of relations between East and West. The immediate merit of F. Shallandon is to develop the actual history of Byzantine policy in Asia Minor and the reconstruction of the chronology of the entire period of Alexei I. on the basis of the analysis of all the information available to the scientist, he recreated the dating of the wars of this emperor with the Italian Normans, with the Pechenegs and Polovtsy on the Balkan Peninsula, with the Icon Sultanate and individual Emirates of Turks-Seljukov in Asia Minor. The book also scrupulously analyzes the foreign policy of the Byzantine Empire, in particular, the chronology of the relationship between Alexei Komnin and the leaders of the first crusade is reconstructed
