Opis

The studies in this latest collection by David Jacoby explore the multiple facets of encounters between states, social and 'national' groups, and individuals belonging to Latin Christianity, Byzantium and the Islamic world generated in the eastern Mediterranean by trade, shipping, military conquest, migration and settlement. A particular focus is the impact upon individual economic activities, with special attention to the 'other', outsiders in foreign environments, foreign privileged versus indigenous traders, the link between governmental intervention, 'naturalization', and fiscal status, as well as the interaction between markets and peasants.

Recenzje

'The scholarship is outstanding, and whilst the specific nature of the collection will not be of interest to all, the work provides a valuable survey of trade and cultural encounters in the Mediterranean during this period.' Islam and Christian-Muslim Relations
