A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy (1350–1600)
A Companion to the Renaissance in Southern Italy offers readers unfamiliar with Southern Italy an introduction to different aspects of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century history and culture of this vast and significant area of Europe, situated at the center of the Mediterranean. Commonly regarded as a backward, rural region untouched by the Italian Renaissance, the essays in this volume paint a rather different picture. The expert-written contributions present a general survey of the most recent research on the centers of southern Italy, as well as insight into the ground-breaking debates on wider themes, such as the definition of the city, continuity and discontinuity at the turn of the s...
Sea Change
Textiles were the second-most-traded commodity in all of world history, preceded only by grain. In the Ottoman Empire in particular, the sale and exchange of silks, cottons, and woolens generated an immense amount of revenue and touched every level of society, from rural women tending silkworms to pashas flaunting layers of watered camlet to merchants traveling to Mecca and beyond. Sea Change offers the first comprehensive history of the Ottoman textile sector, arguing that the trade's enduring success resulted from its openness to expertise and objects from far-flung locations. Amanda Phillips skillfully marries art history with social and economic history, integrating formal analysis of various textiles into wider discussions of how trade, technology, and migration impacted the production and consumption of textiles in the Mediterranean from around 1400 to 1800. Surveying a vast network of textile topographies that stretched from India to Italy and from Egypt to Iran, Sea Change illuminates often neglected aspects of material culture, showcasing the objects' ability to tell new kinds of stories.
La teinture et les matières tinctoriales à la fin du Moyen Âge
La cuve d’un teinturier florentin de la fin du Moyen Âge pouvait absorber quotidiennement du kermès d’Espagne et de Corinthe, de l’alun de Phocée ou des mines de Kütahya, de la garance de Flandre, du brésil dont Marco Polo nous a appris qu’il était importé en Europe depuis Sumatra ou encore de l’orseille récoltée sur les falaises côtières de Majorque ou des Canaries, etc. et constituer ainsi, d’une certaine manière, le point de convergence du plus vaste réseau marchand formé avant l’ère des grandes découvertes. Traitant de la teinture du point de vue technique et productif, des teinturiers du point de vue du travail et de leur place dans la société, de la production des colorants et des mordants de teinture, ainsi que du commerce des matières tinctoriales, ce livre jette un regard neuf et en grande partie inédit sur un thème, souvent sous-estimé, mais pourtant essentiel pour comprendre les grandes orientations de l’histoire économique des époques préindustrielles.

Enemies and Familiars
A prominent Mediterranean port located near Islamic territories, the city of Valencia in the late fifteenth century boasted a slave population of pronounced religious and ethnic diversity: captive Moors and penally enslaved Mudejars, Greeks, Tartars, Russians, Circassians, and a growing population of black Africans. By the end of the fifteenth century, black Africans comprised as much as 40 percent of the slave population of Valencia. Whereas previous historians of medieval slavery have focused their efforts on defining the legal status of slaves, documenting the vagaries of the Mediterranean slave trade, or examining slavery within the context of Muslim-Christian relations, Debra Blumenthal...

Il banco Strozzi di Napoli
Realtà composita e complessa, il Mezzogiorno tardomedievale viene qui presentato attraverso il filtro delle scritture contabili di una grande banca fiorentina: l’istituto di intermediazione creditizia impiantato a Napoli dai fratelli Filippo e Lorenzo Strozzi. Partendo dalla loro attività di mercanti e banchieri, di cui i Libri Giornali superstiti del banco napoletano e le Ricordanze offrono ampia e puntuale testimonianza, si approfondisce il tema dei rapporti e degli scambi tra i principali spazi economici del Mediterraneo occidentale nella seconda metà del XV secolo. Lo sguardo sulla capitale partenopea, oltre ad ampliare il quadro delle conoscenze riguardo a questa importante piazza commerciale e finanziaria quattrocentesca, sugli operatori economici coinvolti e sui rispettivi raggi d’azione e d’influenza, ha consentito, attraverso un metodo induttivo, di rilevare e ricostruire diversi aspetti della vita economica e sociale del Regno di Napoli al tempo di Ferrante d’Aragona (1458-1494).
El País Valenciano en la Baja Edad Media
Este libro reúne once artículos elaborados con motivo de la jubilación, en 2015, del profesor Paulino Iradiel, catedrático de Historia Medieval de la Universitat de València. Los autores de los estudios son medievalistas que realizaron las tesis doctorales bajo su dirección o codirección. Los trabajos están planteados desde la investigación de base y confluyen en la observación del sistema social de la Edad Media, analizado en sus aspectos estructurales y de funcionamiento interno o por medio de los sujetos, individuales o colectivos, que lo vertebraban. Todos se centran en el pasado del País Valenciano durante los siglos XIII-XV, un escenario que se integra también a lo largo del volumen en otros dos ámbitos más generales: la Corona de Aragón y la Europa mediterránea. Por el carácter inédito y original de las contribuciones que incluye, y por su condición de ser investigaciones de base, el volumen presenta una novedad y un interés evidentes.
