| Title | TANA, A VENETIAN AND GENOESE BLACK SEA TRADING STATION IN THE 1430s: A SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC HISTORY |
| Summary | In this study, I will analyze, as a starting point, the notarial deeds of two fifteenth-century Venetian notaries at Tana and the social practices of their clients. Comparing these data with other sources I will reconstruct some important aspects of the the social history of the trading station. Based on a critical reading of the notarial deeds and preparing them for a critical edition, I will analyze the available factual and prosopographic data with regard to the following specific objectives: - Reconstr ucting the fate of notaries and their activities in Tana against the background of the political history and international relations in the region; - Revealing the data on the region’s economy and Tana’s role in it, including a study on the slave trade and slavery in the region; - Examining the ethnic and the confessional structure of the society of Tana; - Reconstructing the social structure of Tana, the aggregation of different social groups according to the characteristics of these groups, including relationships within and outside of them. |
