Venetians in Constantinople - Nation, Identity, and Coexistence in the Early Modern Mediterranean

Informationen zum Autor Eric R Dursteler is an associate professor of history at Brigham Young University. Klappentext The introduction to this book is dazzling . . . The Venetian community in Constantinople provides an excellent site for exploration of issues of nation and identity . . . [Dursteler's] overall intention-to demonstrate cultural diversity in a place and era that has been commonly assumed to lack it-remains firmly at the fore, and he admirably fulfills his task. Zusammenfassung Moving beyond the 'clash of civilizations' model that surveys the relationship between Islam and Christianity from a geopolitical perch! the author focuses on a localized microcosm: the Venetian merchant and diplomatic community in Muslim Constantinople.
