| Abstract | The medieval Mediterranean has long been thought of in terms of networks and dynamics of exchanges. One type of 'network' has not yet been studied: the epigraphic network formed by the inscriptions and graffiti in Latin alphabet of pilgrims, travellers, crusaders, military orders and merchants. What kinds of entanglements, paths, and circulations are revealed by the graphic signs? Is it possible to trace epigraphic recurrent patterns or connections between East and West? In the Holy Places, where are engraved and painted many different scripts, such as Arabic, Greek, Armenian, Syriac, Latin etc., how to think about the relationships between messages and languages? |
