商品簡介
The fourth volume of collected studies by Jacoby (Hebrew U., Jerusalem) focuses again on the medieval Mediterranean and issues of trade, politics, culture, and society. There are two articles on silk economy, one is previously unpublished. Five of the articles are concerned with Jews, and utilize the Venetian and Genoese archives and the Cairo Genizah to reveal new perspectives on issues of the Jewish community in Constantinople. Some aspect of the Byzantine Empire is featured in all 11 articles; the period of Latin rule and the Venetian presence in Constantinople are important themes. Annotation c.
