The late medieval eastern Mediterranean, before its incorporation
into the Ottoman Empire in the sixteenth century, presents a
complex and fragmented picture. The Ayyubid and Mamluk sultanates
held sway over Egypt and Syria, Asia Minor was divided between a
number of Turkish emirates, the Aegean between a host of small
Latin states, and the Byzantine Empire was only a fragment of its
former size. This collection of thirteen original articles, by both
established and younger scholars, seeks to find common themes that
unite this disparate world. Focusing on religious identity,
cultural exchange, commercial networks, and the construction of
political legitimacy among Christians and Muslims in the late
Medieval eastern Mediterranean, they discuss and analyse the
interaction between these religious cultures and trace processes of
change and development within the individual societies. A detailed
introduction provides a broad geopolitical context to the
contributions and discusses at length the broad themes which unite
the articles and which transcend traditional interpretations of the
eastern Mediterranean in the later medieval period.
