This book discusses diseases that affected human and non-human
populations in areas stretching from the Red Sea and Egypt to Anatolia,
the Balkans, and the Black Sea, in the early modern and modern eras. It
tackles various questions of historiography and sources, tests new
interdisciplinary methodologies, and asks new questions while revisiting
older ones. It contributes to Ottoman studies, the history of
medicine, Mediterranean and European history, as well as global studies
on the role of epidemics in history.
