Seminar in Medieval Studies: “Da escrita à edição: Os livros de receita e despesa de Loulé (1375-1518)” – Gonçalo Melo da Silva (IEM – NOVA FCSH)

In Portugal, unlike in other countries such as Spain and France, municipal account books have encountered difficulties in establishing themselves as a specific and privileged object of study within medieval urban and economic history. This scenario partly stems from the scarcity of these sources which, however, is not the case in Loulé, a small town […]

Seminar in Medieval Studies: “As escalas de atuação das elites dourienses durante a configuração do reino de Leão (ca. 850-ca. 950)” – Gonzalo J. Escudero Manzano (Universidad Complutense de Madrid)

Nevertheless, this perception is subject to distortion due to overemphasising the royal political framework and […]

Permanent Seminar on Mercantile Economies, Societies and Cultures: “France, Western Merchants and Islamic Law in the Ottoman Mediterranean (late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth century)” – Viorel Panaite

My story on Western merchants in the Ottoman Mediterranean has chronological, geographical and legal limits imposed by MS Turc 130 (BnF, Paris).
