Methodologies for studying depression in persons with tuberculosis
Depression is prevalent among people with tuberculosis (PWTB) and negatively affects diagnosis, treatment adherence, and clinical outcomes. However, the methodological approaches used to study depression among PWTB have not been systematically mapped. This scoping review aimed to evaluate methodologies used to study depression among PWTB and identify gaps in methodological approaches. We conducted a systematic scoping review following PRISMA-ScR …

A cargo of lead ingots from a shipwreck off Ashkelon, Israel 11th–13th centuries AD
Shipwreck cargo of lead ingots, some marked, discovered off Tel Ashkelon, weighed about four tonnes. C14 analysis of charred wood from an ingot dated it to the 11th–13th centuries AD, Crusader times. Lead isotopic ratios provenanced the ingots to Mont‐Lozère, France. Various aspects of the lead trade are discussed, including: lead sources, extraction, casting, lead in the international maritime trade, weight units in medieval trade, prices, trans…

The Chronicle of Amadi, tr. Nicholas Coureas and Peter Edbury
The anonymous Chronicle of Amadi bears the name of its sixteenth-century Venetian owner, who died in 1566. It is an Italian-language compilation of narrative sources, the text of which exceeds 200,000 words. Its chronological span extends from the rule of the Byzantine emperor Heraclius in the seventh century to the beginning of 1442. The chronicle provides an account of the crusades and events in the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem from the late elev…
The Gattilusio Lordships and the Aegean World, 1355–1462, by Christopher Wright
The unity of the Byzantine Aegean was shattered by developments following the Fourth Crusade and the fall of Constantinople to the Latins in 1204. It was replaced by a fragmented space and numerous political entities, open to competing Byzantine, Western and Turkish forces, until its unity was restored under the Ottoman Turks shortly after 1460. The intervening period was one of instability, wide diversity, and continuous interaction between the …

Silk Production
Written sources provide important evidence regarding the economics of silk production in Byzantium. In addition, some Byzantine silks have been excavated in Egypt and at various sites in Asia and Europe. Precious silk textiles acquired an important symbolic role in the life of the imperial court during the reign of Justinian I (527-65). In addition to fulfilling liturgical and ornamental functions in churches and monasteries, silk was an indicati…
Venetians in Constantinople
Historian Eric R Dursteler reconsiders identity in the early modern world to illuminate Veneto-Ottoman cultural interaction and coexistence, challenging the model of hostile relations and suggesting instead a more complex understanding of the intersection of cultures. Although dissonance and strife were certainly part of this relationship, he argues, coexistence and cooperation were more common. Moving beyond the clash of civilizations model that…

Marco Polo, His Close Relatives, and His Travel Account
The reliability of Marco Polo's famous travel account has been challenged time and again. It is all the more important, therefore, to submit the sparse documentary sources offering direct and incontrovertible evidence about him and his close relatives to a thorough examination. Once these documents are inserted within their contemporary context, they enable a partial reconstruction of the economic activities conducted by two generations of the Po…

L'expansion occidentale dans le Levant
This case-study is the first attempt to examine a commercial outpost in the Crusader Levant within the context of the commercial and colonial expansion of its mother-city and in direct relation to its particular features. The Venetian quarter in Acre in the second half of the thirteenth century provided the physical setting for the exercise of authority by the state and a solid base for the expansion of its dominion. The Venetian administration t…

Les Juifs vénitiens de Constantinople et leur communauté du XIIIe au milieu du XVe siècle
On trouve à Constantinople des Juifs vénitiens dès la seconde moitié du XIIIe siècle. L'existence de leur quartier particulier ou Judaicha n'est toutefois attestée qu'à partir de 1343. La nature des institutions qui régissaient leur communauté ressort de la documentation vénitienne relative à la première moitié du XVe siècle. Conformément à la politique qu'elle poursuivait dans l'ensemble de son empire, Venise n'intervint qu'à titre exceptionnel …

Italian Privileges and Trade in Byzantium before the Fourth Crusade
Divers empereurs byzantins octroyèrent de 1082 à 1192 des privilèges étendus aux trois principales puissances maritimes italiennes, Venise, Pise et Gênes. Une nouvelle lecture des clauses commerciales et fiscales de ces privilèges dans un contexte contemporain et dans un cadre comparatif révèle des aspects méconnus ou oubliés de leur contenu, suggère de nouvelles interprétations et éclaire certains de leurs effets sur le commerce, le transport …
