Professor Brian Catlos Publishes Two New Books Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 09/12/2022 - 11:46

Prof. Catlos announces the publication of two books: The Sea in the Middle: The Mediterranean World, 650–1650 and Texts from the Middle: Documents from the Mediterranean World, 650–1650 co-written and co-edited, respectively with Thomas Burman (Notre Dame) and Mark Meyerson (Toronto), both published by the University of California Press.

The Sea in the Middle presents an original and revisionist narrative of the development of the medieval west from late antiquity to the dawn of modernity. This textbook is uniquely centered on the Mediterranean and emphasizes the role played by peoples and cultures of Africa, Asia, and Europe in an age when Christians, Muslims, and Jews of various denominations engaged with each other in both conflict and collaboration.

Building on the textbook’s unique approach, these sources center on the Mediterranean and emphasize the role played by peoples and cultures of Africa, Asia, and Europe in an age when Christians, Muslims, and Jews of various denominations engaged with each other in both conflict and collaboration. The supplementary reader mirrors the main text’s fifteen-chapter structure, providing six sources per chapter.

The two texts pair together to provide a framework and materials that guide students through this complex but essential history—one that will appeal to the diverse student bodies of today.
