Teaching the Global Middle Ages
While globalization is a modern phenomenon, premodern people were also interconnected in early forms of globalism, sharing merchandise, technology, languages, and stories over long distances. Looking across civilizations, this volume takes a broad view of the Middle Ages in order to foster new habits of thinking and develop a multilayered, critical sense of the past. The essays in this volume reach across disciplinary lines to bring insights from music, theater, religion, ecology, museums, and the history of disease into the literature classroom. The contributors provide guidance on texts such as the Thousand and One Nights, Sunjata, Benjamin of Tudela's Book of Travels, and the Malay Annals and on topics such as hotels, maps, and camels. They propose syllabus recommendations, present numerous digital resources, and offer engaging class activities and discussion questions. Ultimately, they provide tools that will help students evaluate popular representations of the Middle Ages and engage with the dynamics of past, present, and future world relationships.

The Ottoman Threat and Crusading on the Eastern Border of Christendom during the 15th Century
In The Ottoman Threat and Crusading on the Eastern Border of Christendom during the Fifteenth Century Liviu Pilat and Ovidiu Cristea focus on less-known aspects of the later crusades in Eastern Europe, examining the ideals of holy war and political pragmatism. They analyze the Ottoman threat and crusading as political themes through a unifying vision based in the political realities of the fifteenth century and the complex relationship between crusading, Ottoman expansion, and the political interests of the Christian states in the region. Approaching the relationship between the borders of Christendom and crusading as a highly complex phenomenon, Pilat and Cristea introduce new elements to the image of Latin Christendom's frontier from the perspective of Catholic-Orthodox relations, frontier ideology, and crusading rhetoric in political propaganda.
Oceanic Histories
Oceanic Histories is the first comprehensive account of world history focused not on the land but viewed through the 70% of the Earth's surface covered by water. Leading historians trace the history of the Indian, Pacific, and Atlantic Oceans and seas, from the Arctic and the Baltic to the South China Sea and the Sea of Japan/Korea's East Sea, over the longue durée. Individual chapters trace the histories and the historiographies of the various oceanic regions, with special attention given to the histories of circulation and particularity, the links between human and non-human history and the connections and comparisons between parts of the World Ocean. Showcasing oceanic history as a field with a long past and a vibrant future, these authoritative surveys, original arguments and guides to research make this volume an indispensable resource for students and scholars alike.
Painful pleasures
This timely volume ventures into the subject of sadomasochism in varied aspects of medieval life. Saint’s Lives and mystical treatises provide evidence of failed sadism and empowering masochism. Literary culture in the form of epics and courtly tales preserve stories of eroticised power. These exciting chapters join together to form a picture of medieval culture that is kinky in its practice and deeply psychological at its core.
عصر بركة خان سلطان مغول القفجاق
ارتبط تاريخ المغول في الوعي العربي والإسلامي بالدمار الذي ألحقوه بالبلدان الإسلامية، وقضائهم علي الخلافة العباسية ببغداد وقتلهم الخليفة، ورغم تحول المغول لاحقاً إلي الإسلام، وفي مقدمتهم بركة خان زعيم مغول القفجاق، وما أحدثه هذا التحول من أثرٍ بالغٍ علي الأوضاع الداخلية والخارجية لخانية القفجاق بوجه عام، وعلي الخارطة السياسية للعالم الإسلامي بوجه خاص، فإن هذا الموضوع لم يحظ بال...
Islam: od inwazji mongolskich po imperium Timuridów
Czyngis-chan stworzył początkowe imperium mongolskie w Azji Środkowej, poczynając od zjednoczenia konfederacji mongolskiej i tureckiej, takich jak Merkity, Tatarzy i Mongołowie. Ujgurskie Buddyjskie Królestwo Qocho poddało się i wstąpiło do imperium. Następnie kontynuował ekspansję poprzez podbój Qara Khitai i dynastii Khwarazmian. Duże obszary Islamskiej Azji Środkowej i północno-wschodniego Iranu zostały poważnie wyludnione, ponieważ każde miasto, które opierało się Mongołom, zostało zniszczone. Każdemu żołnierzowi przydzielono liczbę wrogów do wykonania w zależności od okoliczności. Na przykład po podboju Urgencha każdy wojownik mongolski - w armii mo...
Ислям: От монголските нашествия до мюсюлманските завоевания в Индия
Монголските нашествия и завоевания се случват през 13 век, създавайки огромната Монголска империя, която до 1300 г. обхваща големи части от Евразия. Историците смятат унищожението на Монгол като един от най-смъртоносните епизоди в историята. Освен това монголските експедиции може би са разпространили бубонната чума в голяма част от Азия и Европа, спомагайки за разпалването на Черна...
イスラム：インドのモンゴル侵攻からイスラム教徒の征服まで
モンゴルの侵略と征服は13世紀に行われ、1300年までにユーラシア大陸の大部分を覆う広大なモンゴル帝国が誕生しました。 歴史家はモンゴルの荒廃を歴史上最も致命的なエピソードの一つと考えています。 さらに、モンゴル遠征は、アジアおよびヨーロッパの大部分に腺ペストを広め、14世紀の黒死病を引き起こした可能性があります。 モンゴル帝国は、1240年代までに東ヨーロッパに到達するアジア全域での一連の勝利キャンペーンを通じて13世紀に発展しました。 イギリスのような後の「海の帝国」とは対照的に、...
