The Making of the Modern Greeks
Author: Petros T. Pizanias
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527562484
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 558
Book Description
How is a society historically formed? How are its historical references, its economy, its social structures, and its language shaped? This book explores these general questions with reference to the case of the Modern Greeks. Who were they? How did they re-emerge on the historical stage after centuries of obscurity since the decline of Antiquity? How was the phenomenon described as New Hellenism historically shaped? What were the historical processes that enabled the New Hellenes to differentiate themselves from the Ottoman system of rule and become distinct from the other Balkan national and cultural groups? This text examines the emergence and formation of various social groups and populations that shaped the historical phenomenon of New Hellenism. It shows that the Modern Greeks were historically formed by way of successive differentiations from the Ottoman frames without initially appearing as homogenous. The book scrutinizes the making of all such differentiations for every social group in each separate geographical area. The activities of these groups in each area eventually formed a distinct economic and cultural space, within the confines of the Ottoman Empire, the space of the New Hellenism.

Coinage and Money in Medieval Greece 1200-1430 (2 vols.)
Author: Julian Baker
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 900443464X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1839
Book Description
Coinage and Money in Medieval Greece 1200-1430, by Julian Baker, is a monetary history of medieval Thessaly, mainland Greece and the Peloponnese, Epiros, and adjacent islands. The central focus of the book is the record of coin finds and coin types, which this study presents in a fully developed political, socio-economic, military, and archaeological/topographical context. In medieval Greece there is a strong symbiosis between monetary and historical developments. The general level of documentation is also vastly superior to the preceding middle Byzantine period. Volume Two presents and evaluates these data. Volume One offers analyses on major historical themes, which demonstrate that the monetary sources can hold narratives in their own rights, complementing and at times contradicting the established accounts. This volume was awarded the Médaille Allier de Hauteroche de l’Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in 2021: "MCette médaille a été décernée à M. Julian Baker pour son ouvrage en 2 vol. intitulé : Coinage and Money in Medieval Greece 1200-1430 (Leyden, Brill, 2020)." For more information, please visit Palmarès 2021
