Presencia diferencial italiana en el sur de la Península Ibérica en la Baja Edad Media. Estado de la cuestión y propuestas de investigación

Abstract

This article covers in detail the bibliographical production on the Italian differential presence in the south of the Iberian Peninsula in late medieval centuries. Following the academic conventions of a long-established historiographical tradition, it tackles the subject by taking into consideration the political realities in both peninsulae, Castile and Grenade on the one hand, and the Italian Mercantile Republics on the other, paying special attention to Genoa, Venice and Florence. Lastly, it suggests new research lines from underused sources and the most recent trends in historiography
