A Contribution to the Sudies of the History, Languages and Cultures in Southeast Europe

Abstract

The review analytically presents the volume entitled "Southeast Europe through the Centuries: Social History, Contacts of Languages and Cultures". It contains 25 articles grouped in three sections: “Trade in Southeast Europe,” “Sources, History, New Interpretations,” “Linguistic and Literary Contacts”. The diverse topics of the articles outline both diachronically and mosaically the picture of the European south-east. The century-long culture of the region is studied from various research perspectives in order to outline the complicated and multi-layered essence of this phenomenon of the Balkans and its dynamics together with the intertwined divergent relations that modeled this civilizational continuum in the past and that unite it today.
