From Pax Mongolica to Pax Ottomanica
War, Religion and Trade in the Northwestern Black Sea Region (14th-16th Centuries)
Series:
The history of the Black Sea may be considered as alternating between an “inner lake,” when a single empire establishes control over the sea and its surrounding areas, and that of an open sea, in which various continental or maritime powers compete for the region’s resources. By taking into account the impact both of major powers and minor political actors, this volume proposes a long-term perspective of regional history. It offers a deep understanding of the political and commercial history of the Black Sea between the 14th and the 16th centuries, and provides insights into the political and economic developments of the region.
Ovidiu Cristea, Ph.D (2003), is Senior Researcher at the Institute of History Nicolae Iorga, Bucharest. He has published books and articles on the Later Crusades, Black Sea History (14th-16th century) and the circulation of information in Southeastern Europe during the early modern period.
Liviu Pilat, Ph.D. (2007), is Professor of Medieval History at Alexandru Ioan Cuza University, Iași. He has published monographs and articles on various aspects of Central and Eastern European political history in the 15th century.
