Housing the Stranger in the Mediterranean World: Lodging, Trade, and Travel in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages Book

The Greek pandocheion, the Arabic funduq, and Latin fondaco were ubiquitous institutions in the Mediterranean sphere that were hostelries for travellers and evolved into centres of trade between Muslim and Christian regions. In this highly original study, Professor Constable traces the evolution of this family of institutions from the pandocheion in Late Antiquity to the arrival of European merchants in Islamic markets and the appearance of the fondaco. Exploring how this diffusion demonstrates common economic interests, the author provides a striking contribution to our understanding of the Mediterranean middle ages.Read More
