Opis

The Early Modern Mediterranean was an area where many different cultural traditions came in contact with each other, were often forced to co-exist, and frequently learned to reap the benefits of co-operation. The aim of this volume is to explore and re-examine one specific aspect of this cross-cultural interaction in the Mediterranean – that between the Byzantine East and the (mainly Italian) West.
