Dear colleagues and friends,
We are pleased to announce the resumption this year of the seminar "Medieval Mediterranean".
Its objective is to bring together researchers specialising in the Greek, Latin and Muslim worlds in the Middle Ages, with the aim of studying relations in the Mediterranean and of comparatism. It will alternate presentations of ongoing work related to current research issues, and sessions devoted to the issue of building shared standards in the Mediterranean.
Abstracts due Sat. Dec. 15, 2018
The Zulueta family name is not very well known outside of Basque and some slave trade historiography. However, one of the family members, Pedro José de Zulueta (1809-82) is unique for two reasons. Pedro José de Zulueta was put on trial at the Old Bailey for the crime of slave trading in 1843 and, after he was acquitted, he published a monumental tome about his trial in order to exonerate himself further in the eyes of the London merchant community. It is this publication, The Trial of Pedro de Zulueta, Jun. On a Charge of Slave Trading, that is at the centre of the workshop.

The Council on America’s Military Past (CAMP) is calling for papers for its Journal. We welcome submissions of interesting, original articles on American military history, especially topics that deal with significant sites (which could include installations, battlefields, ships and airplanes). We also welcome articles on biography and historic preservation, especially if they are related to particular sites. Maps and photos are strongly encouraged. We ask that authors submit manuscripts by e-mail to our editors, using a system that is compatible with Microsoft Word.
