文艺复兴与奥斯曼世界

这本书汇集了一些关于西欧和中东文艺复兴时期文化、知识和商业互动的最新研究，特别是关于奥斯曼帝国的研究。最近的学术研究突出了西欧基督教国家和东地中海伊斯兰国家之间的经济、政治、文化和个人互动，因此，它强调了在同一个欧洲-地中海空间中设想一道铁幕，将不同社会政治和宗教团体的心态一分为二的不协调性。相反，这里的重点是将地中海解释为一个由贸易路线和相关的文化和知识网络穿越的世界，思想、人和货物通过这些网络定期旅行。本书中的14篇文章有助于进行激动人心的跨文化和跨学科学术对话，探讨这两个地区之间的连续性和交流要素，并将奥斯曼帝国定位为文艺复兴发展的地缘政治和文化连续性的一个组成部分。这本书的目的是完善对早期现代地中海世界各种艺术、知识和政治互动的当前理解，并在这样做的同时，进一步促进对文艺复兴的范围和性质的讨论。这些文章来自该领域的主要学者，包括对商业接触的讨论；技术、制图、哲学和科学知识的交流；威尼斯在向西欧传播东地中海伊斯兰文化方面的作用；西欧文艺复兴时期中东物品的使用；分享意大利和奥斯曼建筑的灵感来源；音乐交流；在西方学术中使用东地中海资源，在奥斯曼帝国学术中使用欧洲资源。
The Renaissance and the Ottoman World
This volume brings together some of the latest research on the cultural, intellectual, and commercial interactions during the Renaissance between Western Europe and the Middle East, with particular reference to the Ottoman Empire. Recent scholarship has brought to the fore the economic, political, cultural, and personal interactions between Western European Christian states and the Eastern Mediterranean Islamic states, and has therefore highlighted the incongruity of conceiving of an iron curtain bisecting the mentalities of the various socio-political and religious communities located in the same Euro-Mediterranean space. Instead, the emphasis here is on interpreting the Mediterranean as a world traversed by trade routes and associated cultural and intellectual networks through which ideas, people and goods regularly travelled. The fourteen articles in this volume contribute to an exciting cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary scholarly dialogue that explores elements of continuity and exchange between the two areas and positions the Ottoman Empire as an integral element of the geo-political and cultural continuum within which the Renaissance evolved. The aim of this volume is to refine current understandings of the diverse artistic, intellectual and political interactions in the early modern Mediterranean world and, in doing so, to contribute further to the discussion of the scope and nature of the Renaissance. The articles, from major scholars of the field, include discussions of commercial contacts; the exchange of technological, cartographical, philosophical, and scientific knowledge; the role of Venice in transmitting the culture of the Islamic East Mediterranean to Western Europe; the use of Middle Eastern objects in the Western European Renaissance; shared sources of inspiration in Italian and Ottoman architecture; musical exchanges; and the use of East Mediterranean sources in Western scholarship and European sources in Ottoman scholarship.
