Seasons in Italy
The city of Rome has long been one of the most visited cities in Europe, but such visits were historically a risky proposition due to Rome’s resident P. vivax and P. falciparum malaria. As a result, many French and English travel guides cautioned against visiting Rome during the summer, when Rome’s ‘bad air’ could prove fatal to travelers. But to what degree was this advice actually followed? To answer this question, this paper examines the itine…
Northern European patterns of visiting Rome, 1400–1850
The city of Rome was probably Europe’s most popular destination city well into the modern era, but due to the presence of deadly endemic malaria, such visits were a risky proposition for unacclimated Northern Europeans. Consequently, Northern Europeans were advised to minimise this risk by avoiding Rome during the dangerous malaria season, which was usually defined as peaking July through September. However, as this paper will show, different typ…
A Well-Intentioned Failure
In contrast with recent scholarship which has focused on the successes of British anti-slavery measures in the Arabian Peninsula, this paper will contend that British anti-slavery activities from 1820–1940 were a well-intentioned failure. Available qualitative data overwhelmingly demonstrates that slavers in the Gulf and Red Sea were able to devise effective countermeasures against anti-slavery procedures, especially British naval patrols. Britai…
Mutawalladeen and Malaria
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, a curious but little-known agricultural system based on imported African slaves thrived in the Northern and Central Arabian Peninsula. Born of a unique set of biological, environmental, cultural, and economic conditions, this slave system employed African labor mainly in the date palm plantations of the wadis, or floodwater channels, of the Hijaz and Najd regions of Arabia. This paper will seek to expand our …
Revisiting Bedouin Desert Adaptations
This paper revisits a 1974 study by McCance et al., which asked whether or not Arab Bedouins were physiologically adapted to life in the desert. In sharp contrast to that early study, this paper answers that question with a resounding yes, and identifies lactase persistence (LP) amongst the Arabs as a crucial genetic adaptation to desert environments. By synthesizing older ethnographic sources with newer genetic studies, this paper examines the o…
Malaria, Protestants, and Google
Did the Protestant Reformation inadvertently liberate Northern Europe from a long-standing demographic drain exerted by Rome's indigenous P. falciparum malaria? Perhaps, but the existing scholarship on Northern European travel to Rome is only suggestive, not conclusive. Although the presence of P. falciparum in Rome in historical times is well established, literature on Northern European travel to Rome draws from scattered and anecdotal evidence,…
Ideology on Trial
Etude des sources idéologiques de la Terreur à travers le débat d’opinions au moment du procès de Louis XVI
Polling the Opinions
There has long been agreement among scholars that the French National Convention can be usefully divided into three political categories, the Mountain, the Plain, and the Gironde, yet there has been much less agreement about the size and composition of these categories. In order to test existing categories of classification, especially those of Patrick (1969, 1972) and Lewis-Beck et al. (1988), this article examines a neglected body of data, the …
