Culture matérielle et contacts diplomatiques entre l'Occident latin, Byzance et l'Orient islamique (XIe-XVIe siècle) /
:
Culture matérielle et contacts diplomatiques rassemble quatorze études qui traitent de la culture matérielle en relation avec les échanges diplomatiques qui ont marqué un espace géographique couvrant la zone méditerranéenne (Orient islamique, pour l'essentiel, Occident latin et Byzance) et une période qui correspond à celle de l'amplification de ces échanges, c'est-à-dire entre le XIe et le XVIe siècles, et où les sources se font plus nombreuses. Ce volume est divisé en trois parties, chacune correspondant à un des aspects majeurs de la matérialité de la diplomatie prémoderne : les ambassades, les cadeaux, et les documents. The present volume brings together fourteen studies that deal with material culture in relation to diplomatic exchanges that marked a geographical area covering the Mediterranean area (Islamic East (mostly), Latin West and Byzantium),Cont and a period that corresponds to that of the amplification of these exchanges, that is to say between the eleventh and the sixteenth centuries, and where the sources are more numerous. This volume is divided into three parts, each corresponding to one of the major aspects of the materiality of premodern diplomacy: embassies, gifts, and documents.

Naval Warfare and Maritime Conflict in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age Mediterranean : Ancient Warfare Series Volume 2 /
:
In Naval Warfare and Maritime Conflict in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age Mediterranean , Jeffrey P. Emanuel examines the evidence for maritime violence in the Mediterranean region during both the Late Bronze Age and the tumultuous transition to the Early Iron Age in the years surrounding the turn of the 12th century BCE. There has traditionally been little differentiation between the methods of armed conflict engaged in during the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages, on both the coasts and the open seas, while polities have been alternately characterized as legitimate martial actors and as state sponsors of piracy. By utilizing material, documentary, and iconographic evidence and delineating between the many forms of armed conflict, Emanuel provides an up-to-date assessment not only of the nature and frequency of warfare, raiding, piracy, and other forms of maritime conflict in the Late Bronze Age and Late Bronze-Early Iron Age transition, but also of the extent to which modern views about this activity remain the product of inference and speculation.

Artificial Light in Medieval Churches /
:
This volume examines the economy of artificial light in medieval churches across Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean region, and the broader medieval spheres. Whether innovative or inspired by the more established Latin and Byzantine traditions, the chapters explore local customs in order to understand how artificial light was used in ecclesiastical spaces, and how it brought together aspects of the architecture, decoration, objects, and rituals, while implicating the celebrants and the faithful gathered within the spaces. This volume complements the publication Natural Light in Medieval Churches (Brill, 2023). Contributors are: Anna Adashinskaya, Giulia Arcidiacono, Jelena Bogdanović, Debanjana Chatterjee, Aleksandar Čučaković, Dušan Danilović, Thomas E. A. Dale, Magdalena Dragović, Diego R. Fittipaldi, Evan Freeman, Leslie Forehand, Jacob Gasper, Branka Gugolj, Vera Henkelmann, Vladimir Ivanovici, Charles Kerton, Daniela Mondini, Robert S. Nelson, Marko Pejić, Teresa Shawcross, Alice Isabella Sullivan, Danijela Tešić Radovanović, and Travis Yeager.

Inscribing devotion and death : archaeological evidence for Jewish populations of North Africa /
:
Reliance on essentialist or syncretistic models of cultural dynamics has limited past evaluations of ancient Jewish populations. This reexamination of evidence for Jews of North Africa offers an alternative approach. Drawing from methods developed in cultural studies and historical linguistics, this book replaces traditional categories used to examine evidence for early Jewish populations and demonstrates how direct comparison of Jewish material evidence with that of its neighbors allows for a reassessment of what the category of "Jewish" might have meant in different North African locations and periods and, by extension, elsewhere in the Mediterranean. The result is a transformed analysis of Jewish cultural identity that both emphasizes its indebtedness to larger regional contexts and allows for a more informed and complex understanding of Jewish cultural distinctiveness.

New Approaches to the Study of Esotericism /
:
This volume offers new approaches to some of the biggest persistent challenges in the study of esotericism and beyond. Commonly understood as a particularly "Western" undertaking consisting of religious, philosophical, and ritual traditions that go back to Mediterranean antiquity, this book argues for a global approach that significantly expands the scope of esotericism and highlights its relevance for broader theoretical and methodological debates in the humanities and social sciences. The contributors offer critical interventions on aspects related to colonialism, race, gender and sexuality, economy, and marginality. Equipped with a substantial introduction and conclusion, the book offers textbook-style discussions of the state of research and makes concrete proposals for how esotericism can be rethought through broader engagement with neighboring fields.
