• W2185170262 abstract "REVIEWS 265 be the most stimulating part of this study, the book contains a number of valuable contributions—particularly the impressive prosopographical register with sixty-four mini-biographies of various aristocratic men and women from Champagne—that will make it an essential read in the fields of both institutional and social history. VINCENT RYAN, History, Saint Louis University A Faithful Sea: The Religious Cultures of the Mediterranean Sea, 1200– 1700, ed. Adnan A. Husain and K. E. Fleming (Oxford: Oneworld Publications 2007) 220 pp. This welcome volume in the field of Mediterranean Studies integrates crosscultural contacts and inter-confessional encounters from the Middle Ages to the end of the early modern era. This homogenous collection successfully seeks to illustrate the fluidity of the region by depicting the Mediterranean as a cultural unity, which the Romans called mare nostrum. The book presents the longuedur ée of interaction and religious contacts mainly through confessional encounters of Jews, Christians, and Muslims across the Mediterranean. The volume shows that the real divide of the region has been created by historiography and imagination rather than by historical experiences. Hence, the title Religious Cultures seeks to undermine the idea of conflict and competition in current historiographical tradition by revealing that inter-confessional encounters were responsible for the creation of a coherent historical region. Indeed, all authors apprehend the context of inter-confessional experience as Mediterranean in character. This work presents essays by scholars in languages, history, art, and area studies. As a result, it re-imagines the Mediterranean through exchanges of different types: religious, linguistics, commercial, and ethnic. The introduction offers a nice historiographical opening for the volume. It starts with the “Pirenne thesis,” which emphasized the unity of intercultural relations in the Mediterranean until the arrival of Islam. The editor then proceeds with how Fernand Braudel’s longue-durée interpretation provided a model for the geographical unity of the Mediterranean. The French historian outlined the coherence of the region through geography broadly seen “from the northern limit of the olive tree to the southern limit of the palm tree.” Its structuralist approach has been recently redefined by Nicholas Purcell and Peregrine Horden in what Husain calls “postmodernization of Braudel ... drawing from the discourses of globalization and the internet age” (7) showing the Mediterranean as an enduring conceptual frame. However, Purcell and Horden are to be credited for helping to envision the Mediterranean as a historical space as their micro-ecological emphasis allows Braudel’s model (the only one so far displaying a framework of unity in the Mediterranean) to persist. The volume’s most cogent essay is the one by Ariel Salzmann. Well-researched and written, superbly contextualized, it is the jewel of the collection. Through a microhistorical account of the Mediterranean, it displays the back and forth conversion of a priest as an “accidental itinerary across the religious frontier” (169). It adequately portrays the fluid lines provided by confessional exchanges through the Mediterranean frontier. Alfonso Moscati’s inquisition transcript is a type of travelogue manqué, the story of a flight from Malta into the Muslim world and a sudden crisis of conscience on the way back. Moscati REVIEWS 266 was a man who straddled Islam and Christendom. This renegade priest’s story was hardly unique as many clerics turned “Turks” over the centuries. To prove his conversion to Islam when captured by a Christian shipper, Alfonso hoisted his habit to display his circumcision (167). Interestingly, European authorities recognized Alfonso’s conversion by the drinking of coffee. Coffee reflects both the need for oriental and exotic goods and an age of fear and revulsion toward Islam (161). Karla Mallette uses the history of the Muslim colony (Lucera) created by the Sicilian kings to illustrate relations between Muslims and Christians in southern Italy. Examining literary references in the Divine Comedy and in historical documents, the reluctance of Christian rulers to purge conquered territories of their Muslim residents permeates her analysis. Using Bulliett’s concept of “sibling societies,” she demonstrates how Muslims and Christians went through parallel historical developments. The reasons were diverse: Frederick felt his troops were fiercer as Arab warriors than as converted Christians. Manfredi sought religious plurality to control the people of the..." @default.
