“…As far back as 1948, Peter Charanis noted the extent of monastic property and the threat it represented to the empire's interests (1948), but it is only comparatively recently that the Archives de l'Athos project has allowed monograph-length investigation of monastic wealth. Kostis Smyrlis's (2006) study of large monastic foundations between the 10th and 14th centuries marks the most thorough work to date, though a number of articles highlight more specialist aspects of monastic economies (e.g., Kaplan, 2006;Smyrlis, 2002;Živojinović, 1991; also see Talbot, 2009, pp. 269-273 for a succinct economic overview).…”

While monks were integral parts of the long‐lasting Byzantine world, Byzantine monasticism and its study can be relatively obscure to nonspecialists, given the diversity of monastic forms practiced in the empire. This piece presents a brief primer on Byzantine monastic studies and evaluates key scholarship in this increasingly vigorous field. In particular, it assesses the major impact of critical editions and primary‐source translation projects since the 1990s and 2000s, including both archival materials and hagiography. Furthermore, it evaluates the current state of the field and outlines several opportunities and directions for further research.

The chapter provides an overview of the social, political, and economic functions of Byzantine monasteries from the ninth to the fifteenth century. Relations between monasteries and the state, the Church, and lay society were complex. The monks received donations and protection in exchange for various spiritual and material services. The great landowning monasteries engaged in large-scale agrarian production and trade, and they played a substantial role in local and regional economies. Finally, the chapter addresses the fate and significance of monasteries in the long period of crisis that began in the middle of the fourteenth century and ended with the replacement of the Byzantine by the Ottoman Empire.
