This selection of articles by Elena Frangakis-Syrett, professor at the City University of New York, are a compilation of economic history of the Ottoman Empire between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Frangakis-Syrett takes as her main subjects, monetary and trading practices in the Ottoman Empire and the Ottoman maritime world and, finally, the port city of Izmir. Her works on trade deal with the conditions of international trade between the Ottoman Empire and Europe in the pre-industrial eighteenth century. Izmir is of special interest as it developed into the primary port for trade with Europe. Frangakis-Syrett also considers internal trade, which ran through the three major ports of Istanbul, Izmir and Alexandria. The state’s role in the economy, through the issue of specie to its financial policies, are described in conjunction with how the market interacted with it. Frangakis-Syrett also considers internal trade, which ran through the three major ports of Istanbul, Izmir and Alexandria. Together, the articles comprise one of the major works of Ottoman economic history.

Introduction to Working with Manuscripts for Medievalists

A short guide for studying, editing and translating medieval texts in manuscript form, outlining the technical steps for preparing a medieval manuscript for print: evaluating and describing the manuscript itself (transmission, provenance, and physical description), textual criticism (reconstruction, emendation, authenticity, dating, and authorship), and steps to preparing an edition or translation.

The Center and the Source

This book proposes a model for explaining unity and diversity in early Christianity that centers about a clear confessional identity, allowing both extreme expressions of diversity of texts and traditions while explaining the exclusion of teachers, texts, and traditions that deviated from the confessional norm.

"Not in the Spaces we Know"

This volume explores themes at the intersection of the Bible and science fiction. In the genre of science fiction in film, books, comic books, or fan fiction, we find portrayals of possible futures, altered pasts, supernatural or beyond-human beings. Just as in biblical literature, science fiction can contain metaphysical speculation. Departing from this intersection, the authors engage with biblical texts 'as' science fiction, asking different questions of their sources: can science fiction theory and practice yield new approaches to the discussion of biblical texts? The authors reflect on methodology and offer case studies that include, among others, superhuman biblical kings and uncanny divine intermediaries.
