In the medieval period, the Mediterranean experienced a multiplicity of developments in social, political and economic structures, and in populations, religions and cultures. The centuries between the Late Roman world of the fourth and fifth century and the early modern, "Braudelian", Mediterranean of the sixteenth century were characterised by sweeping changes, including the establishment of post-Roman kingdoms in the west, the emergence of Slav societies in the Balkans, the struggle between Christians and Muslims in Spain and the movement of crusaders.
Founded in 1993,The Medieval Mediterranean series reflects the complexity of this period with a wide variety of high-quality scholarly works: from broad surveys to diachronic studies of particular areas or cities; investigations of individual themes or issues; conference proceedings, text editions and fully annotated translations.
Top specialists in a range of fields have contributed to the series and the volumes which have appeared so far have been warmly welcomed by reviewers. This series is indispensable for readers with interests in the history of later antiquity, the Middle Ages, Byzantium, Islam, the Balkans and the Black Sea area.
Publication schedule
At present 3 volumes of around 350 pages each are published in the series each year. The vast majority of the books in the series are in the English language, although works of outstanding quality in French or German may also be included. Volumes contain illustrations and maps where appropriate.
