Book Synopsis

This book investigates the socio-economic and demographic history of Thessaly between the 12th and the 15th centuries. It focuses particularly on the spatial structure - the population distribution - of the area, examining the multifaceted economic factors and social conditions that shaped this distribution. Terezakis convincingly demonstrates that Thessaly's local urban network and the inhabited area in general were strengthened and revitalized due to the political re-unification of the region under Ottoman rule.
