Öğe Türü: Öğe , Preface One(Taylor and Francis, 2026) Kurşun, ZekeriyaCoexistence in Medieval Christian and Muslim Societies offers the first comparative study of medieval Iberia and Anatolia, two peninsulas at opposite ends of the Mediterranean, exploring their religiously and ethnically diverse societies and shedding new light on the shared and distinct experiences of Christian and Muslim coexistence. Through a collection of essays, the book offers fresh perspectives on convivencia by examining the political, social, and cultural histories of Muslim, Christian, and Jewish communities. It draws on diverse evidence, from Arabic manuscripts and medieval board games to trade networks and the plague and introduces innovative methodologies to highlight the social and cultural diversity of the medieval Mediterranean. The contributors to this book demonstrate that coexistence was not an idealistic vision, but a pragmatic necessity shaped by shifting power structures and economic realities. Challenging academic compartmentalization and emphasizing the Mediterranean as a dynamic zone of interaction, this book is ideal for scholars and students of medieval history, Mediterranean studies, and interfaith relations, as well as those interested in cultural diversity and exchange. It is particularly suited for academic researchers, instructors, and libraries seeking comparative and interdisciplinary approaches to medieval studies.Öğe Türü: Öğe , Introduction: Anatolia and Iberia in Comparison, Coexistence, Conflict, and Exchange(Taylor and Francis, 2026) Parlak, Ömer Fatih; Usta, AhmetIn May 2022, the international Medworlds workshop was organized on the theme of “Coexistence in Practice: Politics, Trade and Culture in the Late Medieval Anatolia and Iberia” under the main sponsorship of Fatih Sultan Mehmet Vakif University Center for Middle Eastern and African Studies (ORDAM), and supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Institution of Türkiye (TÜBİTAK) and the Mediterranean Seminar. Held in Istanbul, the event brought together academics from eight countries working on different historical periods and various fields. This fostered discussions on new approaches to Mediterranean history in general and reevaluation of existing arguments.Öğe Türü: Öğe , Diplomacy of Tolerance: Politics between Cilician Armenians and Mamluks in the Late Medieval Anatolia(Taylor and Francis, 2026) Usta, AhmetThe Mamluks who took the control of Ayyubids’ lands in Egypt and Bilad al-Sham in the second half of the thirteenth century, began to expand their authority to Anatolia. They organized various military operations at different time periods and achieved important successes against the two important Christian states in the region, the Principality of Antioch and the Kingdom of Cilician Armenia. As a result of their successful campaigns, they took control of Antioch in 1268. However, they did not annex Cilician Armenia until 1375. After the struggles, both parties tried to make gains by resorting to diplomacy, and as a result the Mamluks allowed them to rule by getting reparations, imposing sanctions and obtaining security and privileges for the merchants. This chapter focuses on the politics of the Mamluk Sultanate in relation to the Kingdom of Cilician Armenia in the Eastern Mediterranean between the dates 1260 and 1289. Their diplomatic relations following the military actions will be examined by considering the political and commercial benefits to the two parties. The conflicts will be analysed and the role of the Mamluks supporting the Armenian kingdom will be explained through the Mamluks’ own interests. Moreover, the chapter will attempt to answer the question why the Mamluks attacked Anatolia and did not overthrow Cilician Armenia despite looting the important cities, based on the coexistence phenomenon.Öğe Türü: Öğe , Coexistence in Medieval Christian and Muslim Societies: Politics, Trade and Culture in Anatolia and Iberia(Taylor and Francis, 2026) Usta, Ahmet; Parlak, Ömer FatihCoexistence in Medieval Christian and Muslim Societies offers the first comparative study of medieval Iberia and Anatolia, two peninsulas at opposite ends of the Mediterranean, exploring their religiously and ethnically diverse societies and shedding new light on the shared and distinct experiences of Christian and Muslim coexistence.

This research utilizes the theory of social normative behavior (TSNB) while explaining the role of board games as social lubricant among otherwise divergent groups. According to the Theory of Social Normative Behaviour, game playing is considered outside the normative social behavior and facilitates interaction between divergent groups. The theory proved to be useful in explaining the role of board games in cross-cultural interaction in the Bronze Age Levant. In the late medieval historical context of Anatolia and Iberia, many chance-based and skill-based games are known to be widely played among not only the upper and lower classes but also culturally divergent groups. Various books on board games from the Abbasid era, such as Al-Adli al-Rumi’s tenth-century Kitab ash-shatranj (Book of Chess), Ar-Razi’s Latif fi ‘sh-shatranj (Entertainment with Chess), As-Suli’s Kitab ash-shatranj (Book of Chess), and Alphonso X’s thirteenth-century Libro de los Juegos (Book of Games) provide evidence for vertical and horizontal social interactions occurring around the board. In this regard, this research defends the idea that board games as social lubricants helped create a rather peaceful atmosphere shared by players coming from divergent cultural backgrounds in late medieval Anatolia and Iberia.
