Housing the Stranger in the Mediterranean World: Lodging, Trade, and Travel in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages
Constable, Olivia Remie (University of Notre Dame, Indiana)
The Greek pandocheion, the Arabic funduq, and Latin fondaco were ubiquitous institutions in the Mediterranean sphere that operated as hostelries for travellers and evolved into centres of trade between Muslim and Christian regions. Professor Constable traces their complex evolution across space and culture from late antiquity to the Middle Ages.
