THE RENAISSANCE OF THE LEVANT - MICHAEL KREUTZ ...

Since the Mediterranean connects cultures  Mediterranean studies have by definition an
intercultural focus. Throughout the modern era  the Ottoman Empire has had a lasting impact on
the cultures and societies of the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean. However  the modern
Balkans are usually studied within the context of European history  the southern Mediterranean
within the context of Islam. Although it makes sense to connect both regions  this is a vast
field and requires a command of different languages not necessarily related to each other.
Investigating both Greek and Arabic sources  this book will shed some light on the significance
of ideas in the political transitions of their time and how the proponents of these transitions
often became so overwhelmed by the events that they helped trigger adjustments to their own
ideas. Also  the discourses in Greek and Arabic reflect the provinces of the Ottoman Empire and
it is instructive to see their differences and commonalities which helps explain contemporary
politics.
