Abkhazia and Italian City-States (13th – 15th Centuries). Essays on the Relationship. – St. Petersburg: Aletheia, 2020.
ISBN 978-5-00165-119-2
The monograph discusses Italo-Abkhazian relations during the period of dynamic trade-expansion of Italian city-states, primarily Genoa, on the Caucasian Black Sea coast, which is one of the important and still insufficiently studied topics in the history of mediaeval Abkhazia (13th – 15th centuries). The essays address the issues related to: the relationship of the Italian maritime republics with Abkhazia in the 13th – 15th centuries; the organisation of Italian trading activities in Abkhazia, primarily in the central city of the country – Savastopoli (Sukhum); the activities of the Roman Catholic Church in Abkhazia; the functioning of the consular and notarial services of Genoa in Savastopoli; as well as such a regrettable phenomenon as the large-scale export of slaves from the Black Sea basin, in particular from Abkhazia and Circassia. The work also analyses the ethnonyms, toponyms and hydronyms of mediaeval Abkhazia and the coastal Circassia contained in various Italian documents, as well as on sea-charts, atlases and portolans of the epoch.
The book is of interest to scholars of mediaeval history and the Caucasus, as well as to a broader readership.
Professor Viacheslav Chirikba, member of the Academy of Sciences of Abkhazia and senior researcher at the Institute of Linguistics of the Russian Academy of Sciences defended his doctoral thesis at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands. He is the author of books and articles on the languages, history and mythology of the peoples of the Caucasus.
