This is a very good book ... It gives a new and important picture
of the eastern Mediterranean in the late medieval period, from 1150
onwards, including revisionist discussions of the rise of the
Ottomans and the last period of Byzantium, and it questions recent
hypotheses about the role of the Mediterranean in history.
*Averil Cameron, English Historical Review*
Every scholar or research library with interests of the late
medieval eastern Mediterranean should have a copy.
*Spyros P. Panagopoulos, Al-Masaq: The Journal of the Medieval
Mediterranean*
