Die spätantiken Jahrhunderte galten aus der Perspektive Westeuropas bzw. des Mittelmeerraums lange Zeit als Periode der völligen Fragmentierung der vormals unter römischer Herrschaft existierenden politischen und wirtschaftlichen Netzwerke. Es lohnt sich allerdings, weg von Europa und hin zu den gro�en Reichen des östlichen Mittelmeerraums, Ostafrikas, des Nahen Ostens, Indiens sowie Zentral- und Ostasiens zu blicken: Auch hier brechen im 3. bis 7. Jh. mehrfach gro�e Imperien zusammen, werden aber von neuen, oft noch grö�eren imperialen Formationen abgelöst.0Ziel des Bandes ist es, den Dunklen Jahrhunderten der westeuropäischen Peripherie die Dynamik globaler Verflechtungen in den politischen und ökonomischen Zentralräumen der afroeurasischen Spätantike gegenüber zu stellen, für einen Zeitraum vor dem Anbruch der europäischen Expansion.

"How did humans and the environment impact each other in the medieval Eastern Mediterranean? How did global climatic fluctuations affect the Byzantine Empire over the course of a millennium? And how did the transmission of pathogens across long distances affect humans and animals during this period? This book tackles these and other questions about the intersection of human and natural history in a systematic way. Bringing together analyses of historical, archaeological, and natural scientific evidence, specialists from across these fields have contributed to this volume to outline the new discipline of Byzantine environmental history. Contributors are: Johan Bakker, Henriette Baron, Chryssa Bourbou, James Crow, Michael J. Decker, Warren J. Eastwood, Dominik Fleitmann, John Haldon, Adam Izdebski, Eva Kaptijn, Jürg Luterbacher, Henry Maguire, Mischa Meier, Lee Mordechai, Jeroen Poblome, Johannes Preiser-Kapeller, Abigail Sargent, Peter Talloen, Costas Tsiamis, Ralf Vandam, Myrto Veikou, Sam White, and Elena Xoplaki"

"The transition zone between Africa, Asia and Europe was the most important intersection of human mobility in the medieval period. The present volume for the first time systematically covers migration histories of the regions between the Mediterranean and Central Asia and between Eastern Europe and the Indian Ocean in the centuries from Late Antiquity up to the early modern era. Within this framework, specialists from Byzantine, Islamic, Medieval and African history provide detailed analyses of specific regions and groups of migrants, both elites and non-elites as well as voluntary and involuntary. Thereby, also current debates of migration studies are enriched with a new dimension of deep historical time. Contributors are: Alexander Beihammer, Lutz Berger, Florin Curta, Charalampos Gasparis, George Hatke, Dirk Hoerder, Johannes Koder, Johannes Preiser-Kapeller, Lucian Reinfandt, Youval Rotman, Yannis Stouraitis, Panayiotis Theodoropoulos, and Myriam Wissa".
