The political, social, economic, and ecclesiastical history of the city of Famagusta in Cyprus in medieval and early modern times (late 12th to late 16th century) and its image in retrospect. This is the second of two volumes on the history and archaeology of the port city of Famagusta in Cyprus from the beginning of the island’s Frankish rule in 1191 to the Ottoman conquest in 1571. The first volume, entitled Art and Architecture and edited by Annemarie Weyl Carr, was published in this series in 2014. The volume provides a comprehensive survey of the four-century history of Famagusta under Frankish, Genoese, and Venetian rule down to the Ottoman siege and conquest, supplemented by an account of the image of the medieval and Renaissance city in retrospect. Based on original research and often using unpublished sources, fourteen acknowledged specialists study Famagusta’s political, social, economic, and ecclesiastical history from a multi- and interdisciplinary approach that involves aspects such as institutional continuities and discontinuities, military and spatial organisation, religious and cultural exchanges, gender roles, and the city’s image in travelogues, literature and art. Such an approach allows a better understanding of the evolution of the ethnically and religiously diverse Famagustian society from a rich commercial centre under the Lusignans to an enclave under the Genoese and a military outpost under the Venetians.

L’enquête menée sur la perception des conversions à l’islam dans la littérature historique des XIXe et XXe siècles a abouti à la publication d’une bibliographie raisonnée, parue dans la collection Mondes méditerranéens et balkaniques de l’École française d’Athènes, en 2011 (MMB 3). Poursuivant la réflexion engagée sur les époques seldjoukide et ottomane, en Asie Mineure et dans les Balkans, onze historiens et spécialistes de sciences humaines, réunis lors d’un colloque en 2012, considèrent la conversion à l’islam sous divers angles, à des époques distinctes. Les études réunies reviennent sur les contextes micrasiatiques ou balkaniques et examinent d’autres situations culturelles et temporelles : les débuts de l’islam, la Syrie des XVIIe-XIXe siècles, la péninsule indienne, l’archipel insulindien, sans oublier les modalités spécifiques aux groupes juifs (marranes, morisques, dönme-s). Research on how conversions to Islam were perceived in the historical literature of the 19th and 20th centuries resulted in the publication of an annotated bibliography in 2011 as part of the Mondes méditerranéens et balkaniques series of the French School at Athens (MMB 3). Continuing the ongoing discussion of the Seljuk and Ottoman eras in Asia Minor and the Balkans, eleven historians and humanities specialists, participants in a 2012 conference, consider conversion to Islam from a range of different perspectives, in different periods. The articles in this collection reconsider the Asia Minor and Balkan contexts and look at other cultures and time periods, such as the beginnings of Islam, Syria during the 17th-19th centuries, the Indian peninsula, and the Insulindian archipelago, while also paying attention to processes specific to Jewish groups (Marranos, Moriscos and Dönme-s).
