Trois grandes civilisations se partagent la Méditerranée médiévale : l'Occident latin, l'Orient byzantin, le Proche-Orient musulman. Chacune d'elles est le plus souvent étudiée de manière exclusive des deux autres. La Méditerranée apparaît ainsi cloisonnée, partagée, compartimentée. Or, à partir du IXe siècle pour Venise, du XIe siècle pour Gênes, ces deux républiques maritimes établissent des liaisons commerciales avec les deux parties de l'Orient. Elles dilatent l'espace parcouru par les marchands occidentaux, créent des itinéraires au long cours, établissent des comptoirs accueillant leurs hommes d'affaires et un flux continu d'émigrés latins. Un véritable Commonwealth économique se crée, non sans rivalités entre les puissances occidentales. A travers le prisme génois, cet ouvrage cherche à décrire espace, itinéraires et comptoirs ouverts aux Occidentaux.

Placed as a stepping stone on the sea route between Europe and the Near East, Cyprus has always been a meeting place of many cultures. Through rarely united politically through many millenia of history - and for extended periods subject to foreign rule - the island nonetheless managed to maintain specific and unique identities. This publication seeks to throw new light on important aspects of the economy of Cyprus between c. 700 BC and AD 700 through a concerted study of the transport amphorae found in and around the island. These standardised containers of fired clay were commonly used for shipping foodstuffs from their places of production to the consumers in antiquity. Completely preserved or found only in fragments, such vessels are a prime source or information about the island's exports and imports of agricultural products, and ultimately about the fluctuations in the economy of Cyprus through a crucial millenium and a half of her history. The jars thus contribute both to our understanding of the changing intensities of Cypriot connections with other centres around the Mediterranean and to the documentation of regional patterning within the island itself.

The following study analyses the factors behind the spread of sugar cane from the East to the West, the geography of its establishment in the Mediterranean era and reconstitutes the processes of sugar production and the organisation of work in the plantations and medieval sugar factories. It questions the quality of sugar produced and the evolution of prices of this commodity. It establishes the conditions of its transport and trade. Finally, it studies the different uses of sugar, including in medicins and diets. Sugar was triumphant as a food stuff and became an indispensable ingredient in the confectionery and pastry, which decorated the tables of the royal courts. It remained a luxury product reserved for the high society.

"The focus of the book is on the interaction of trade and cultures in the Eastern Mediterranean during the late Hellenistic and Roman periods, and the authors discuss the extent to which these mechanisms can be traced from the ceramic evidence. Research in the Western Mediterranean has already yielded results allowing us to put forward theories on trade patterns and mechanisms as well as more complex theories on the socio-economic realities of the Roman Empire. In the West this was made possible through an understanding of the various pottery sequences, published kiln sites, and quantification of pottery and shipwrecks. However, things are different in the still less well-documented East, and it is important that we now turn to this less explored part of the ancient world in order to gain a better understanding of its trade."--BOOK JACKET.
