they did – such matters are not suited to this kind of book. In particular, the gazetteer-like approach to geographical regions, while it permits a breadth of coverage that one almost never finds elsewhere, obscures the course of the fighting as seen from 30,000 feet above. Finally, it is meant as no criticism of the editors or contributors to reflect on some topics that receive relatively short shrift. One concerns ethnicity, for this remains, despite the pioneering contribution by Ilicak, and the coverage of European culture and philhellenism, very much a Greek story in which what it is to be Greek is by and large assumed rather than argued for. There are few Muslims in these pages, and the Albanian factor which was so critical throughout, multivalent and complex, falls by the wayside. Likewise, it would have been interesting to have had some consideration of language itself. We know enough about the period to know that the educated secretaries (grammatikoi), who served the leading chieftains, prettified the language they actually spoke; we know too that people commonly spoke more than one language, and often a complex lingua franca as well. Relatively little research exists on spoken communications during the Revolution – slang, curses, jokes, and oaths – so perhaps it is no surprise that it is not discussed here. Although there are chapters on the constitutional assemblies of the Revolution and on economics, much new work is appearing on both the emergence of quasi-modern administrative structures, as well as on the underlying economic imperatives that drove revolutionary decisions and governed military capabilities. We await more work on the agrarian economy, and on taxation as it operated in practice rather than in theory. Finally, and as importantly as anything, the volume says relatively little about popular religious beliefs, the Messianic strain that unquestionably helped shape Greek nationalism and drove the uprising. But it would be quite wrong to end on a carping note. This book is a remarkable achievement, beautifully produced and agreeably rendered into English, which will be an essential companion volume for all students of the Greek revolution for many years to come.

position, and threatened to excommunicate those involved in abortions. While Christopoulos hints that this stark approach altered the way abortions were seen in modern Italian society, his book leaves us wondering what we are to find on rummaging through archives of courts and hospitals; what remained privately tolerated though publicly condemned? A final note. Abortion in Early Modern Italy regards the state of affairs outside Italy only in passing. We may suppose that at least some of these patterns would be replicated in other parts of southern Europe which shared medical and Catholic ideas and practices, but were bound by different legal traditions and geographically distant from papal scrutiny. Although surely beyond the scope of this engrossing and wonderfully researched book, this comparison could perhaps answer a question that is left open: to what degree is the ambivalence and leniency towards abortion a product of the Italian social structure and its own particular preoccupation with avoiding public shame and striving for absolution? Christopoulos effectively shows how the inherent ambiguities of pre-modern medical understanding of women’s bodies coincided with the developments of Catholicism in its reformatory era, as well as the characteristics of the Italian legal processes of the period. Yet his argument also points to the profound need in such matters to bridge necessity and morality, ideology and incidence. In this, Abortion in Early Modern Italy encourages us to consider more broadly the gaps and ambivalences in handling abortions in other cultures, by which, perhaps, we might open new avenues with which to rethink and recalibrate the meanings and rhetoric of heated contemporary debates.

the benefit of the Ottomans, with wide-ranging world historical ramifications. All the same, Barker’s book is not only essential reading for Mediterranean medievalists and students of Mamluk history, but for Ottomanist scholars as well. They will all discover a study that invites comparison and raises numerous questions that will shape future research. Skilfully wielding complementary source sets and methodologies, Barker has written an admirably clear and concise, convincingly argued and rigorously documented study. Accessible to students, it is an excellent introduction to the practice and persistence of slavery in the medieval Mediterranean world.

This article examines a wave of divine interventions on four Cycladic Islands (Tinos, Naxos, Syros, and Santorini) in the 1820s and 1830s. The aim is to understand the social dynamics that created a specific atmosphere of religious fervour in the Aegean during that period and to build an idea of lay practice and lay reaction to the arrival of a Catholic sovereign and Protestant missionaries. Missionaries provided islanders with a new lens for looking at and questioning their own traditional religious practices. However, instead of rejection, their intervention brought about renewed commitment and zeal. In an attempt to prove the superiority of their own religion, Orthodox from the Cyclades started to unearth icons, crosses, and bones at the very moment that they were accused by Protestants of superstition.

During the 1840s Italian society began to see the Mediterranean region as a dangerous place to live, owing to what was regarded as threats represented by Austria, Great Britain, France, and even Russia and the United States. This conviction resulted from various affairs both within and outside Europe, where the same powers were accused of behaving in an overtly aggressive way, which was used as an argument for the political unity of Italy’s various states in order to give them greater strength for defence. Since danger was seen all around, this unity became important for both the peninsular Italians and the Sicilians, who agreed on the need to establish an Italian league with federal land and naval forces. The principal objective of this paper is to show that the question of Sicily’s future was seen as a question of not only Italy’s security, but also of its future position in the Mediterranean as a whole, and that the de facto unanimous support of Sicily’s membership in the league in 1848 resulted from this self-protecting response that, moreover, already contained proto-imperialist tendencies in which for geostrategic reasons the island played an important role.

additions. In short, what Hershenzon achieves is no small thing. He turns on its head a phenomenon that has traditionally been treated as the ultimate proof of a religious and cultural divide, instead presenting it as a medium contributing to the connectedness of the early modern Mediterranean. This book will likely influence the field for years to come and should be read by any student or researcher of early modern Mediterranean history.
