Resumo

Aleixo I Comneno (1081-1118) é conhecido pela historiografia por ter estabelecido um governo familiar no qual seus parentes não apenas recebiam privilégios extraordinários, mas também um papel mais importante no governo do que o dos familiares dos imperadores anteriores. Ninguém personificou mais essa inovação do que seu irmão, Isaac Comneno (1050-1102/1104). Ele foi nomeado por Aleixo sebastokrator, que é uma associação entre dois títulos originalmente imperiais: autokrator (lat. imperator) e sebastos (lat. augustus). Isso simbolizava o status como quase igual ao imperador que Isaac desfrutou durante o reinado de seu irmão. Nessas inovações criadas por Aleixo eram quase sem precedentes, exigindo adaptações ou até mesmo invenções linguísticas por parte dos retóricos que exaltavam os membros da aristocracia dos Comnenos e dos historiadores que tentavam esclarecer as políticas de Aleixo. Assim, o presente artigo analisará algumas fontes escritas, como obras historiográficas, retóricas e epigráficas, e pictóricas, como selos de chumbo e mosaicos decorativos, relacionadas a Isaac, a fim de entender como a linguagem de diversos gêneros foi adaptada para construir a autoridade e poder extraordinário do irmão do imperador e as relações entre os dois.
