This book investigates the economic, intellectual and political history of late medieval and early modern Genoa and the historical origins of the Genoese presence in the Spanish Atlantic. Salonia describes Genoa’s late medieval economic expansion and commercial networks through several case studies, from the Black Sea to southern England, and briefly compares it to the state-run military expansion of Venice’s empire. The author links the adaptability and entrepreneurial skills of Genoese merchants and businessmen to the constitutional history of the Genoese commune and to the specific idea of freedom progressively protected by its constitutions and embodied by institutions like the Bank ...
Siyâsî ya da ideolojik söylemler içeren tezlerin çok yüksek bir soyutlama düzeyinde olduğu, bunların belirli bir metot çerçevesinde kanıtlanamayacağı ama aynı zamanda siyâsî, ideolojik mülâhazalara hizmet eden inşâî/ kurgusal hüviyet arz ettiği yadsınamaz bir gerçektir. Çünkü anılan bağlamda öne sürülen görüşlerin kesinlikle tarihe özgü kural ve usullere bağlı kalamayacağı açıkça ortadadır. Bu çalışma târihî vâkıların bir süreç içinde incelenmesi gerektiğinin altını çizerek, Ermenilerle Müslüman toplumun, hangi devirde ve ne şekilde münasebet kurduklarına dâir, siyâsî ya da ideolojik söylemler içermeyen, bilgiler verme iddiasındadır.
Στο βιβλίο επιχειρείται η επίλυση τού γρίφου τού Ξενοφώντος. Το πρόβλημα είναι τριπλό: Κύρια διάστασή του είναι ο προσδιορισμός τής διαδρομής τής Καθόδου των Μυρίων από τα όρη Καρδούχων μέχρι την Τραπεζούντα. Η λύση που θα προσφέρει η προτεινόμενη διαδρομή πρέπει να είναι τέτοια, ώστε να ικανοποιεί και τις άλλες δύο διαστάσεις τού προβλήματος. Αφενός να προσδιορίζει τις ημερομην...
The book attempts to solve the riddle of Xenophon. The problem is threefold: Its main dimension is the determination of the route of the Retreat of “Myrioi” (Ten Thousand men) from the mountains of the Carduchians to Trapezus. The solution offered by the proposed route must be such that it satisfies the other two dimensions of the problem. On the one hand, to determine the dates of all events from the departure from Sardes to the battle at Cunaxa in Babylonia and the arrival at the Black Sea, in a way that leaves no gaps in the chronology. On the other hand, to determine all the distances in the total route (Sardes-Cunaxa-Black Sea) in agreement with the data provided by Xenophon himself. By satisfying all the above three dimensions of the problem, the solution of Xenophon's riddle will obviously also allow the determination of the distance in kilometres that the “Myrioi” travelled during their Anabasis and Retreat.
