This is a collection of essays that aims to offer a vertical history of war in the
Mediterranean Sea, from the early Middle Ages to early modernity, putting the emphasis
on the changing face of several different aspects and contexts of war over time ;
The Mediterranean has always attracted the imagination of modern historians as the
epicentre of great political entities, such as the Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs,
Ottomans, Venetians, and Spanish. However, it seems that the sea itself was always
on the margins of historical inquiry -- at least, until the publication of the famous
two-volume work by F. Braudel in 1949, which profoundly shaped the understanding of
how societies living around the Mediterranean interacted in a single period of history,
offering what David Abulafia has coined "a horizontal history of the Mediterranean."
This collection of essays aims to offer a rather vertical history of war in the Mediterranean
