This volume brings together some of the latest research on the
cultural, intellectual, and commercial interactions during the
Renaissance between Western Europe and the Middle East, with
particular reference to the Ottoman Empire. Recent scholarship has
brought to the fore the economic, political, cultural, and personal
interactions between Western European Christian states and the
Eastern Mediterranean Islamic states, and has therefore highlighted
the incongruity of conceiving of an iron curtain bisecting the
mentalities of the various socio-political and religious
communities located in the same Euro-Mediterranean space. Instead,
the emphasis here is on interpreting the Mediterranean as a world
traversed by trade routes and associated cultural and intellectual
networks through which ideas, people and goods regularly travelled.
The fourteen articles in this volume contribute to an exciting
cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary scholarly dialogue that
explores elements of continuity and exchange between the two areas
and positions the Ottoman Empire as an integral element of the
geo-political and cultural continuum within which the Renaissance
evolved. The aim of this volume is to refine current understandings
of the diverse artistic, intellectual and political interactions in
the early modern Mediterranean world and, in doing so, to
contribute further to the discussion of the scope and nature of the
Renaissance. The articles, from major scholars of the field,
include discussions of commercial contacts; the exchange of
technological, cartographical, philosophical, and scientific
knowledge; the role of Venice in transmitting the culture of the
Islamic East Mediterranean to Western Europe; the use of Middle
Eastern objects in the Western European Renaissance; shared sources
of inspiration in Italian and Ottoman architecture; musical
exchanges; and the use of East Mediterranean sources in Western
scholarship and European sources in Ottoman scholarship.
