Ch.-E. Dufourcq Jacques Heers and Georges Jehel
Ashgate Variorum
Hardback
384
1990
The late Ch.-E. Dufourcq was one of the first to map out the relations between the Christian and Muslim coastlands of the medieval western Mediterranean. These studies reveal the extent of the contribution he made to the subject and the care and attention with which he handled the scattered documentary sources. There are three main themes to the volume: one group of articles focuses on the political and diplomatic aspects of the relations between Spain (Catalonia in particular) and the Maghreb (the lands of the modern Morocco Algeria and Tunisia) a second is concerned more with commercial contacts and with a comparison of the economic conditions north and south of the Mediterranean and with the day-to-day life of the sailors and merchants who formed the link between the two. A third theme most prominent in the final articles is the social and economic history of Catalonia itself a subject to which he returned in the final years of his life.
