| Summary: | In the flourishing fields of World History and Global History, Maritime History has at best played an ancillary role. Although seas and oceans were not at the center of attention, they have received their monographs. Following Fernand Braudel's Méditerranée, historians interpreted the Mediterranean, Baltic, Atlantic, Indian Ocean, or Pacific as closed maritime systems, consisting of multiple microenvironments. This essay seeks to overcome these limited perspectives and to examine how the various seas and oceans were connected by the Vikings, the Cairo Genizah merchants, and the Italian trading companies of the Middle Ages. |
