Casting a broad net across several disciplines, particularly geography and political economy, Donald Freeman examines the significance of the Straits as both a trade gateway and a choke-point that has forced generations of sailors to "run the gauntlet." Rather than the more conventional historical-narrative approach, he offers an innovative adoption of an interdisciplinary, analytical perspective through his use of detailed case studies of trading systems and shipping hazards.

La presenza della sigillata gallica nella Transpadana occidentale è cosa nota da tempo, per lo meno agli studiosi locali, ma l’entità del fenomeno e il suo significato sul piano economico e delle relazioni commerciali sono ancora oggi molto poco evidenti a livello nazionale e internazionale. Il rinvenimento di un notevole quantitativo di sigillata gallica nello scavo di alcune porzioni di discarica addossate alle mura di cinta della Torino romana ha dato l’avvio a uno studio che mette in luce come la sigillata gallica nella Cisalpina non sia affatto una presenza sporadica, né probabilmente il risultato di un approvvigionamento destinato a soddisfare solo i bisogni dei ceti più abbienti, ma costituisca invece un indicatore economico piuttosto importante. Il volume prende in esame più di 500 frammenti, per lo più inediti, di sigillata prodotta nella Gallia meridionale e centrale tra l’età claudia e il III secolo, tutti rinvenuti nella Cisalpina occidentale, e passa in rassegna i dati editi per l’area nordorientale. Lo scopo principale, oltre a quello di far emergere la presenza non marginale di queste produzioni nel nord Italia, è la ricostruzione di una via cisalpina per il trasporto di merci diverse, molte delle quali deperibili, da ovest verso est. Fossili guida nella ricerca sono le ceramiche di Lezoux e Banassac, prodotti che non avevano una rete di distribuzione mediterranea, ma si concentravano nell’Europa continentale e in Britannia. Definire i loro itinerari permette di ipotizzare dinamiche commerciali sulle lunghe distanze, in un mercato che non aveva le caratteristiche e i numeri di quello Urbano o di quello militare, e di assegnare alla Gallia Cisalpina un ruolo di qualche importanza come via meridionale di transito e di connessione tra l’area transalpina occidentale e quella orientale.

This study is the first of its kind to examine the history and organization of trans-Saharan trade in western Africa using original source material. It documents the internal dynamics of a trade network system based on a case study of 'Berber' traders from the Wād Nūn region, who specialized in outfitting camel caravans in the nineteenth century. Through an examination of contracts, correspondence, fatwas and interviews with retired caravaners, Professor Lydon shows how traders used their literacy skills in Arabic and how they had recourse to experts of Islamic law to regulate their long-distance transactions. The book also examines the strategies devised by women to participate in caravan trade. By embracing a continental approach, this study bridges the divide between West African and North African studies. The work will be of interest to historians of Africa, the Middle East, and the world and to scholars of long-distance trade, Muslim societies and Islamic law.

La poussée de la navigation occidentale au-delà du cap de Bonne Espérance et l'activité connue des diverses compagnies des Indes sont les références habituelles auxquelles renvoie le commerce de l'Asie entre le XVIe et le XVIIIe siècle. Les Européens ont pourtant rencontré sur les routes de l'Asie, maritimes ou continentales, des communautés marchandes bien établies qui, au gré des circonstances et avant la colonisation, ont été aussi bien leurs concurrents que leurs partenaires. Les Arméniens, déjà présents en Europe, sont l'une d'elles ; le principal réseau commercial qui les représente à partir du XVIIe siècle est celui de la Nouvelle-Djoulfa, un faubourg arménien fondé près d'Isfahan après la déportation de l'Arménie du Centre-Est par le chah de Perse Abbas Ier en 1604-1605. En se déployant d'Amsterdam au Bengale et au Tibet, et jusqu'aux îles Philippines, en prenant appui sur toute une série de ports et d'étapes répartis des rives de la Baltique ou de la Méditerranée à celles de l'océan Indien ou de la mer de Chine, le réseau commercial formé par les Arméniens de la Nouvelle-Djoulfa a de quoi susciter la curiosité, sinon la passion de l'historien. Il n'a pas manqué de surprendre aussi les contemporains : de la Nouvelle-Djoulfa, dont il découvre le faste grandissant, le chevalier de Chardin dira qu'il est peut-être le plus gros bourg du monde ; Gabriel de Chinon y verra, lui, une petite république. Pourvoyeurs d'épices, de tissus, de soie, des produits les plus variés des Indes ou de l'Europe, les marchands arméniens sont aussi les financiers du chah de Perse, les ambassadeurs de l'empereur d'Éthiopie; ils deviennent armateurs dans l'océan Indien, maîtrisent les techniques comptables et commerciales en usage en Orient ou en Occident, négocient avec les souverains ou les compagnies. Ils tentent également, alors que se construit le monde moderne, d'y faire une place à leur nation, à la fois ancrée dans un pays partagé et déterritorialisée. Dans la lignée de…

This book covers new ground on the diffusion and transmission of geographical knowledge that occurred at critical junctures in the long history of the Silk Road.Much of twentieth-century scholarship on the Silk Road examined the ancient archaeological objects and medieval historical records found within each cultural area, while the consequences of long-distance interaction across Eurasia remained poorly studied. Here ample attention is given to the journeys that notions and objects undertook to transmit spatial values to other civilizations. In retracing the steps of four major circuits right across the many civilizations that shared the Silk Road, The Journey of Maps and Images on the Silk Road traces the ways in which maps and images surmounted spatial, historical and cultural divisions.
