The Impostor Sea: The Making of the Medieval Mediterranean
Hussein Fancy, Associate Professor of History, Yale, will speak as part of the 2022-23 Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies lecture series.
The past century of scholarship has offered two competing views of the medieval Mediterranean: a zone of intense conflict or one of intense contact. Grounded in Latin, Romance and Arabic sources, this lecture traces the activities of impostors, people who crowded the thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Mediterranean and force us to think beyond metaphors of contact and encounter to explain the relationships between Jews, Christians and Muslims.
Event is free and open to the public.
