Nasturi keşiş Bar Şauma'nın Batı seyahatinde kullandığı Karadeniz rotası üzerine yeni bir yorum ve düzeltme önerisi.

Le ricerche degli ultimi anni sul mandolino genovese hanno permesso di identificare più di quaranta strumenti appartenenti a questa tipologia, riconducendoli alla produzione di almeno tre liutai attivi a Genova. Lo studio dei marchi a fuoco presenti su gran parte degli esemplari esaminati si è rivelato di fondamentale importanza per sopperire alla totale assenza di etichette manoscritte. Inoltre, il confronto delle caratteristiche costruttive
ha consentito di distinguere modelli e dettagli comuni tra i fabbricanti, raccogliendo informazioni utili al riconoscimento di altri esemplari non ancora noti. In questa sede non sarà possibile fornire una descrizione particolareggiata dei singoli strumenti, ma saranno indicate le principali peculiarità connesse alla produzione dei tre liutai. Oltre agli aspetti costruttivi, l’esistenza di un numero così importante di mandolini genovesi porta a riconsiderare il loro ruolo storico-musicale, non come rare eccezioni della liuteria settecentesca, ma come parte consistente dello strumentario del periodo.

My thesis is about the founding of a Genoese East India Company (1647 – 1649) and Dutch – Genoese relations in the middle of the XVIIth century. These two themes are intertwined, since Dutch merchants (among them the Dutch consul in Genoa) and personnel were essential in the founding and functioning of the Company. Moreover, its birth came as a result of a fascination with the “Dutch model” of chartered companies of trade among large sectors of the Genoese patriciate, which I wanted to describe and explain. The main sources I used are the letters and notes received by the Genoese governement (Archivio di Stato di Genova, Archivio Segreto: Litterarum, Secretorum) and the letters sent by the Dutch consuls in Genoa to the States – General at the Hague (Nationaal Archief, States General: bijlagen bij de resoluties van de Staten-Generaal Liassen Italien, Depêcheboeken en de brievenboeken van de Staten-Generaal – II.A.11, III.B.3). I also used some other archival records from the Archivio di Stato di Genova, as well as from the Archivo General de Simancas. Finally, I also looked at some contemporary Genoese texts, both manuscripts and printed books.

The present book chapter studies the role of the port of Cadiz as Atlantic frontier of the Italian merchant republics (Genoa, Venice, Florence) from multiple, complementary points of view. Firstly it tackles the mercantile frontier (limes) between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, a classic point in historiography, from an integrating perspective altogether; second, it continues with the port as the door (limen) to Castile and to the Atlantic for Italian seamen, fleets and consulates, including an intriguing description of the city by a Milanese merchant. Last, it analyses hostilities between Italian merchant nations and against them –from Castilian, Catalan or Portuguese fleets– in the waters of the Bay of Cadiz. As a result, it emerges an image of one of the most important Atlantic territories for the Italian mercantile interests.

Клад из c. Стижок является одним из крупнейших депонирований серебряных монет XIV–XV вв., найденных на исторической территории Великого княжества Литовского. Деньги из глиняного горшка имеют отношение к истории многих современных государств: Литвы, Беларуси, Молдовы, Украины, Польши, Чехии, Румынии, Италии, Турции. Совокупность стран-эмитентов делает клад своеобразной и неповторимой энциклопедией средневековья. По нему можно проследить сложные процессы денежного обращения и международной торговли Европы с итальянскими колониями в Северном Причерноморье, исследовать влияние золотоордынской и крымско-татарской валюты на рынке Восточной Европы, выявить проникновение пражских, молдавских и валашских монет на территорию Великого княжества Литовского, установить особенности надчеканивания серебряной монеты в конце XIV — середине XV в.

Today a long lost monument; San Michele Church, which stood once as the cathedral church of the Genoese colony, has a significant place in the history of Galata. It was founded replacing the Byzantine church of Hagia Thekla as Galata transformed into a Genoese settlement in 13th century. Serving as a church, it was still intact when Galata went under Ottoman rule. It has lost its congregation and started to serve as a storage unit as part of state property. It must have survived for a hundred more years under the Ottoman rule until its ownership changed to private property, and eventually it was replaced by a monumental caravanserai for the grand vizier Rüstem Pasha, designed by Architect Sinan in mid 16th century, later named Kurşunlu Han. The first parts of this study focus on the Genoese and Ottoman archival documents referring to the church, to draw an outline of the history of the church, and the site, through Byzantine, Genoese and Ottoman periods. The second part presents the on-site observations and aims to merge these with the data acquired from historic documents questioning any possible traces on the 16th century Ottoman monument that may date back to the church. This study aims to bring to light the above mentioned chronology of the church, portray as much as possible its architecture, its functional transformations, its afterlife under Ottoman rule and physical evidence that might be tracing back to San Michele Church within the body of Kurşunlu Han, which replaced it.

The present article aims to show the continuity of the Genoese of the Kingdom of Grenade from the end of the Muslim era to the beginning of the Castilian times. To do so it makes use of the prosopographical method, comparing documentation from national archives and notarial deeds from Cordoba and Grenade. Thus, through the personal development of Ambrogio Spinola we study aspects such as the commercial and financial activities held by the Genoese mercantile community, paying special attention to the connection with the High Guadalquivir through the terrestrial border; the purchase of proprieties in Grenadian soil, a completely hitherto unknown fact which involves deep implications about the evolution of the Nasrid society; it is established the chronology of their presence in the emirate during the War of Grenade; and after the return we outline their adaptation to the new social, political and economical reality, with the diversification of strategies, the wish to integrate in local society and keeping in touch with Castilian and Grenadian elites. Therefore it emerges a completely unknown image, which answers some classic questions of the specific historiography and enriches the knowledge of the Genoese presence in Grenade.

The book reconstructs the history of the law and the life of the institutions of the Republic of Genoa between the 14th and 17th centuries. It investigates the various systems of laws operating in the city and territory (civil, criminal, and constitutional), the role of the jurists and notaries in relation to noble society, some aspects of the political culture and the influence of Machiavelli, and the image of the famous “Casa” or Bank of St George.

The Atlantic ports of Andalusia were privileged centres to develop foreign merchant’s commercial interests, as a huge bibliography and a consolidated tradition of studies has established. The present paper focuses on a matter that has not been equally and conveniently deepened, the degree of social mobility of the Italian nations –Genoese, Florentines and Venetians– established within the urban societies of the Crown of Castile at the end of the middle ages. Considered as nations in the medieval sense of the term, we first determine the importance of economic success to enable the insertion in the local élites, the urban oligarchies that controlled economical and political power resources, and determined the contacts with the Castilian nobility and the Crown. In second place, we take into consideration the instruments to measure social ascent. Third and last, from the data gathered we try to establish if group dynamics can be identified inside Italian communities, or if we are facing isolated and exceptional cases. The comparative perspective resulting offers a complex picture in which the Genoese community was the only foreign nation to achieve an effective process to integrate in upper social networks of the territory.

The present paper analyzes the integration of Italian communities -Genoese, Florentine, Venetian, Lombards- in port societies of Andalusia (Seville, Cadiz, Puerto de Santa María, Jerez) from the 13th to the 15th centuries. To do so I have taken as documentary basis demographic sources such as the repopulating books (repartimientos), registers of inhabitants and tax registers. The results offer new light about the geography of Italian presence in the territory.

Durante los siglos XVI y XVII, portugueses y genoveses se avecindaron en las villas y ciudades del reino de Guatemala. A pesar de que la corona española consideró a estos personajes como «extranjeros», las autoridades y comunidades locales los integraron como vecinos. Este artículo explora el papel de los migrantes en la configuración de las vecindades entre 1535 y 1630. Plantea que tanto portugueses como genoveses fueron esenciales para la consolidación del reino de Guatemala. El estudio pondera la profundidad de los vínculos de estos personajes, sus etapas, alcances y límites.

In the fifteenth century, the hitherto usually close relations between the Genoese community and the Order of the Knights of St John were threatened by an increase in tension and incidents of violence. The difficulties between them in this period were due less to their contrasting approaches to relations with Muslim powers than to the Order’s increasingly strong ties to Genoa’s traditional enemies, the Catalan subjects of the Crown of Aragon. These arose from the growing importance of Catalan and Aragonese knights in the Order, of Catalan merchants and financiers in the Knights’ base at Rhodes, and of the Aragonese Crown to the interests of the Order. Combined with the intensification of hostilities between Genoese and Catalans in the same period, this development produced recurrent antagonism between Genoa and the Hospitallers, manifested primarily in acts of piracy and the resulting reprisals. Such difficulties reflected the nature of the Order as a political power which was also a multinational association, and the tendency for violence between communities to impinge on other groups with whom their membership overlapped or was closely associated. This article examines this process of contagious recrimination, but also the ways in which it was contained by the enduring mutual connections, internal subdivisions and policies of the Order and the Genoese community.
