ISBN: 9780884024088 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Scholars have typically taken the failure of the Byzantine endeavor in Africa as a foregone conclusion. North Africa under Byzantium and Early Islam reassesses this pessimistic vision both by examining those elements of Romano-African identity that provided continuity in a period of...

ISBN: 9781784534905 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between the 9th and the 15th centuries, Central Asia was a major political, economic and cultural hub on the Eurasian continent.

Nevertheless, Moriscos secretly made the treacherous journey across the ocean, settling in the forbidden territories and influencing the nature of Spanish colonialism.
