Medieval Bosnia and South-East European Relations: Political, Religious, and Cultural Life at the Adriatic Crossroads (Beyond Medieval Europe)

As a small, landlocked country, medieval Bosnia managed to preserve its individuality, characterized by religious plurality and by the persistence of its own ancient customs. But its central position in the region, situated between east and west, and between Catholic and Orthodox Christianity, meant it was heavily influenced, both politically and culturally by the Venetian Republic, the Hungarian Kingdom, and the Byzantine Empire. Due to language issues and scarcity of sources, this region has largely been overlooked by western historiography. This volume features contributions from an exciting new generation of medievalists, who are working to rectify this gap in the narrative.
