Description | Although the word Mediterranean has been part of Convivium’s identity since the very beginning, this new issue demonstrates how a truly global perspective is coming to define the journal. Particularly striking is the unforeseen coherence of the studies presented in this volume, which began not long ago as an assemblage of miscellany. Scholars from Croatia, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Switzerland are presenting a dense network of interactions around the Mediterranean and beyond; it is the beyond that has gained importance. African production, here mediated by the Mamluk culture in objects, textiles, and ideas, has entered Convivium’s purview; at the same time, the Holy Land stands as the real crossroads. |
