Template:POV-title Michael Attaleiates or Attaliates (Template:Lang-el) was a Byzantine statesman and historian, probably a native of Attalia in Pamphylia (now Antalya), whence he seems to have come to Constantinople between 1030 and 1040. He acquired in the royal city both wealth and position and was rapidly advanced, under successive emperors, to the highest dignities (patrician and anthypatos) and offices, becoming a member of the two supreme courts of the Empire, those of the Hippodrome and the velum. He compiled (1072) for the Emperor Michael Parapinakes a compendium of Byzantine law which supplements in a useful way the Libri Basilici. In addition to this he also drew up an Ordinance for the Poor House and Monastery which he founded at Constantinople in 1077. This work is of value for the history of Byzantine life and manners in the eleventh century. It contains a catalogue of the library of his monastery. About 1079 or 1080 he published an account of Byzantine history from 1034 to 1079, a vivid and reliable presentation of the palace revolutions and female domination that characterize this period of transition from the great Macedonian dynasty to the Comneni.
