This book is a study of architecture and urban design across the
Mediterranean Sea from the 12th to the 14th Century, a time when
there was no single, hegemonic power dominating the area. The focus
of the study-four cities on the Italian peninsula, and four in
Syria and Egypt-is the interconnectedness of the design and use of
urban structures, streets and open space. Each chapter offers an
historical analysis of the buildings and spaces used for trade,
education, political display and public action. The work includes
historical and social analyses of the mercantile, social, political
and educational cultures of the eight cities, highlighting
similarities and differences between Christian and Islamic
practices. Sixteen new maps drawn specifically for this book are
based on the writings of medieval travelers.
