Tolerance Re-Shaped in the Early-Modern Mediterranean Borderlands (eBook, ePUB)

Travellers, Missionaries and Proto-Journalists (1683-1724)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores perceptions of toleration and self-identity through an analysis of otherness' real experience of Italian travellers, Catholic missionaries and Maltese proto-journalists within Mediterranean border-spaces. Employing a multidisciplinary approach, which integrates the analysis of original and unpublished archival documentation with early modern European travel literature, the book shows how fluid subjects and border-groups adapted to new environments, often generating information that made the Ottomans and their system of values real and dignified to an Italian audience.
