Patricia Fortini Brown. The Venetian Bride
The Inquisitor at the Table
This article explores the Roman Inquisition's interest in the dietary practices of suspected heretics throughout the Roman Catholic Mediterranean. In an era marked by rampant religious nomadism and a deep uncertainty about assaying and fixing confessional identity, dietary practices were often used to determine religious belonging. For the Roman Inquisition, non-conforming diets served as a clue to potentially more serious spiritual infractions. …
Language and Gender in the Early Modern Mediterranean
The early modern Mediterranean was a space of expansive linguistic mixing, and multilingual discourse was a common response to the exigencies of communication within this context. There is a growing body of scholarship on male multilingualism; however, women have been largely overlooked. This article argues that far from marginalized outsiders, as they were often depicted, women were active participants in the Mediterranean linguistic ecology. Th…

The Making of the Modern Mediterranean
The Making of the Modern Mediterranean: Views from the South grew out of a 2013 conference at Georgetown University, “The Mediterranean Re-imagined,” which was convened in memory of the late historian of the early modern Mediterranean and Georgetown faculty member, Faruk Tabak. As the title suggests, the objective of the conference and the collected volume was to rethink the Mediterranean from the perspective of its southern shore. This is not, o…
A Jewish Jesuit in the Eastern Mediterranean
T ristan V igliano . Parler aux musulmans
The traumatic middle decade of the fifteenth century, which saw the final collapse of the Byzantine Empire, also produced a constellation of writings by cleric-scholars on the future of Islamo-Christian relations. In Parler aux musulmans, the French literary scholar Tristan Vigliano examines the ways in which works by these politically engaged writers open a window onto “the dialogue of Christianity with Islam on the cusp of the Renaissance” (305…
Fearing the “Turk” and Feeling the Spirit
The early modern period was an age of expansive religious refashioning and upheaval. In the Mediterranean this was the golden age of the renegade, as converts, particularly from Christianity to Islam, were termed. While fear was almost universally evoked in these cases, there is ample evidence of widespread voluntary conversion in the Mediterranean. Emphasising violence allowed converts, particularly those seeking reconciliation, to situate the l…
A Companion to Venetian History, 1400-1797
The Companion to Venetian History, 1400-1797 provides a single volume overview of the most recent developments. It is organized thematically and covers a range of topics including political culture, economy, religion, gender, art, literature, music, and the environment. Each chapter provides a broad but comprehensive historical and historiographical overview of the current state and future directions of research.
Speaking in Tongues
Upon arriving in the Mediterranean for the first time, most early modern travellers were struck by the linguistic cacophony that greeted them. In 1608 Thomas Coryat reported that in Venice’s Piazza San Marco, one could ‘heare all the languages of Christendome, besides those that are spoken by the barbarous Ethnickes’.1 Thirty years later, the intrepid French traveller Jean-Baptiste Tavernier noted thirteen languages in use at a dinner, comprising…
Renegade Women
Studies the period between the battle of Lepanto (1572) and the start of the Candian War (1645) and the areas of Greece, the Balkans, and the Aegean
Convenient to the Piety of Our Signoria and to the Honor of the Lord God”
Conversion was a common phenomenon in the early modern Mediterranean, and in most instances, individual apostasies from Islam or Christianity warranted minimal response. The conversion of women, however, and particularly women of status, elicited a more significant reaction. Both Ottoman and Venetian ruling elites attributed particular significance to female spiritual peril, partly because of cultural assumptions about women’s weakness and lack o…
On Bazaars and Battlefields
For the past century, the field of Mediterranean Studies has been primarily dominated by two paradigms that appear on the surface, at least, to be mutually exclusive: the bifurcated Mediterranean of the battlefield, and the linked Mediterranean suggested by the region’s many bazaars and other places of encounter and exchange. But when the dotted lines separating the color-coded civilizations inscribed on maps of the Mediterranean are erased, when…

Fatima Hatun née Beatrice Michiel
During the last decades of the sixteenth century, Beatrice Michiel fled an unhappy marriage in Venice for Constantinople. She converted to Islam, taking the name of Fatima, remarried, and because of her access to the imperial harem, played a significant role in Veneto-Ottoman relations in this troubled period. Beatrice/Fatima’s experience provides a suggestive window into the often ignored experience of renegade women on the Mediterranean frontie…

Commerce and Coexistence
Le commerce en Mediterranee, vers la fin du XVI e siecle, est souvent decrit comme divise rigidement entre des musulmans et des chretiens n'ayant que peu de rencontres significatives. Selon l'optique traditionnelle, les marchands musulmans ne voyageaient que rarement dans les pays chretiens, et le systeme d'echange passait principalement par des intermediaires minoritaires. Cette etude, a partir de documents venitiens, fournit d'amples preuves de…

The Bailo in Constantinople
During the difficult sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Venice attempted to maintain a precarious balance with its powerful neighbour the Ottoman Empire. The key to this effort was the chief Venetian diplomat in Constantinople, the bailo. The complexities of defending Venice's position in the Mediterranean required the ablest possible officials. Effective service in this most public of positions could provide significant recognition for men at …

Identity and Coexistence in the Eastern Mediterranean, ca. 1600
Of the many European states that interacted with the Ottoman Empire in the early modern era, few did so as extensively as the Most Serene Republic of Venice, La Serenissima . The two empires shared a lengthy border and a common historical trajectory for almost 500 years, during which time the political and economic fortunes of both were intimately intertwined. While occasionally interrupted by brief periods of open hostility, for the most part th…

Italy in the Seventeenth Century
In his comprehensive overview of 17th century Italy, Professor Sella challenges the old view that Italy was in general decline, instead he shows it to have been a time of sharp contrasts and shifts in fortune. He starts with a balanced and critical analysis of political developments (placing the Italian states in their wider European context) before assessing the state of the economy. He then looks in depth at society, religion, and culture and s…
