In both popular memory and in their own histories, the Normans remain almost synonymous with conquest. In their relatively brief history, some of these Normans left a small duchy in northern France to fight with Empires, conquer kingdoms, and form new ruling dynasties. This book examines the explosive Norman encounters with the medieval Mediterranean, c. 1000–1250. It evaluates new evidence for conquest and communities, and offers new perspectives on the Normans’ many meetings and adventures in history and memory. The contributions gathered here ask questions of politics, culture, society, and historical writing. How should we characterize the Normans’ many personal, local, and interregional interactions in the Mediterranean? How were they remembered in writing in the years and centuries that followed their incursions? The book questions the idea of conquest as replacement, examining instead how human interactions created new nodes and networks that transformed the medieval Mediterranean. Through studies of the Normans and the communities who encountered them — across Iberia, the eastern Roman Empire, Lombard Italy, Islamic Sicily, and the Great Sea — the book explores macro- and micro-histories of conquest, its strategies and technologies, and how medieval people revised, rewrote, and remembered conquest.

Migration in the Medieval Mediterranean argues that the cross-Mediterranean movement of peoples was a central aspect of the medieval world. Medieval people migrated in search of safety after regime change, secure life amongst coreligionists, and prosperous careers. This kind of travel between Muslim and Christian regions demonstrates the mutual influences, interconnections, and communications linking them, surpassing the differences between the two civilizations.

Depuis une dizaine d’années les problèmes de pénurie alimentaire se sont de nouveau invités à la table des réunions au sommet entre États. En 2015, l’exposition universelle de Milan, en prenant pour thème « Nourrir la planète », choisissait de mettre l’accent sur ces questions. À l’heure où les ministres de l’agriculture des pays du G20 se préoccupent de nouveau de recenser les stocks mondiaux en denrées alimentaires de première nécessité que sont le riz et les céréales et de favoriser l’accroissement des capacités de stockage des pays producteurs pour en réguler le marché, on constate un regain d’intérêt pour l’étude de cette même question dans les sociétés anciennes. Cet ouvrage présente la synthèse d’un programme de recherche sur la place des entrepôts céréaliers dans les systèmes d’approvisionnement en Méditerranée, de l’Antiquité à la fin de la période moderne. À l’origine de ce projet, il y avait le constat d’une relative méconnaissance de ces bâtiments et de leur place centrale dans l’économie des sociétés préindustrielles. Cette lacune est aujourd’hui comblée. Le mouvement impulsé par cette recherche a suscité d’autres études publiées ou en cours de publication. Le livre présente un point des connaissances sur quatre questions transversales – le maillage géographique des bâtiments de stockage, leurs formes et leurs fonctions, les techniques de conservation des grains, enfin la place du dispositif de stockage dans les économies d’Ancien Régime – et quatre études de cas – un entrepôt d’Ostie antique, la situation de la Sicile sur la longue durée, celle de Venise au XVIIIe siècle, celle de l’Espagne à l’époque moderne. Il révèle le rôle central du stockage dans les économies d’Ancien Régime, la complexité de son organisation qui implique l’interaction de professionnels et d’intérêts privés, avec un pouvoir politique organisé et conscient des enjeux du stockage sur le plan politique et social. Saisis dans la longue durée de leur histoire, les entrepôts…

This book analyses the artistic and cultural legacy of Western Islamic societies and their interactions with Islamic, Christian and Jewish societies in the framework of the late medieval Mediterranean, from a range of multi-disciplinary perspectives. The book, organised in four parts, addresses the Andalusi legacy from its presence in the East and the West; analyses the relations and transfers between Al-Andalus and the artistic productions of the Christian kingdoms of the Iberian Peninsula; explores other manifestations of the Andalusi legacy in the fields of knowledge, construction, identity and religious studies; and reconsiders ornamental transfers and exchanges in artistic manifestations between East and West across the Mediterranean basin. Chapter 2 is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. María Marcos Cobaleda is Assistant Professor at the University of Malaga, Spain. She has previously held positions at EHESS, Paris, France, and at the Instituto de Estudos Medievais, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal. Her research focuses on the application of geographic information systems (GIS) to Islamic art history.

Culture matérielle et contacts diplomatiques rassemble quatorze études qui traitent de la culture matérielle en relation avec les échanges diplomatiques qui ont marqué un espace géographique couvrant la zone méditerranéenne (Orient islamique, pour l'essentiel, Occident latin et Byzance) et une période qui correspond à celle de l'amplification de ces échanges, c'est-à-dire entre le XIe et le XVIe siècles, et où les sources se font plus nombreuses. Ce volume est divisé en trois parties, chacune correspondant à un des aspects majeurs de la matérialité de la diplomatie prémoderne : les ambassades, les cadeaux, et les documents. The present volume brings together fourteen studies that deal with material culture in relation to diplomatic exchanges that marked a geographical area covering the Mediterranean area (Islamic East (mostly), Latin West and Byzantium),Cont and a period that corresponds to that of the amplification of these exchanges, that is to say between the eleventh and the sixteenth centuries, and where the sources are more numerous. This volume is divided into three parts, each corresponding to one of the major aspects of the materiality of premodern diplomacy: embassies, gifts, and documents. Contributors: Isabelle Augé, Frédéric Bauden, Marisa Bueno, Thierry Buquet, Malika Dekkiche, Nicolas Drocourt, Jesse Hysell, Cécile Khalifa, Élisabeth Malamut, Émilie Maraszak, Mohamed Ouerfelli, Stéphane Péquignot, Daniel Potthast, Alessandro Rizzo, Beatrice Saletti, Motia Zouihal.
