About the author

Stefan Stantchev earned his PhD in history at the University of Michigan in 2009, joining the faculty of Arizona State University's New College. His research interests focus mainly on the religious and economic factors that shaped human relations in the Mediterranean, c 1100 to c 1600. His work thus engages topics that are often treated separately, such as economic and church history, or foreign policy and religious identity. He has been offered fellowships and research grants from the Social Science Research Council, The Institute for the Humanities at the University of Michigan, the American Historical Association, and the Medieval Academy of America, among others.

Summary

Offers the first book-length study of the Roman Catholic church's practice of embargoing trade outside of Christendom in the period c. 1150 to c. 1550, particularly examining the influence of the papacy on the state.

Additional text

Stefan Stantchev managed to astonish me with his book, whose topic and execution are remarkable ... it has managed to prove its originality. I strongly believe that mediaevalists of different fields will expect with interest the future studies of the author.
