Geschichte der Slavia Asiatica
The term Slavia Asiatica describes regions whose medieval history was characterized by various forms of contact between Slavic and mostly Turkic peoples from Asia over a long period. From an overall European perspective, Slavia Asiatica refers to fluent "passage" between Europe and Asia. Mutual relations and transcultural exchange among the peoples who came in contact with each other formed the specific structure of Slavia Asiatica. These papers discuss some of the fundamental problems in analyzing the various sources of Slavia Asiatica's history from the perspectives of different academic disciplines (History, Archeology, Slavistics, Byzantine Studies, Turkology, and Art History).
