Collects Bernard Heyberger’s ground-breaking studies on the connected history of Middle Eastern Christianity

  • Reframes the relationship between Ottoman Christian subjects and the surrounding societies based on unexplored archival data
  • Shows the connections between the historical processes and cultural developments of Western Europe and of the Ottoman Near East
  • Offers nuanced contextual study of Christian population agency in the Middle East during the Ottoman period
  • Integrate Eastern Catholicism in the history of Early Modern Roman Catholic Church
  • Uncovers the diversity of Arab Christian religious and cultural identification processes
  • Adopts an interdisciplinary approach: renews the approach to the study of religious minorities in the Islamic world, combining social history, cultural history, anthropology, art history
  • Relies on a ‘global micro-historical approach’, linking together case studies and general reflections that enlighten the interactions and cultural circulation between Western and Eastern Mediterranean


Bernard Heyberger carved new paths in the study of Middle Eastern Christianity, helping to shed fresh light on aspects of the connected history of the Near East that had previously been neglected. His ground-breaking work has spanned many disciplines, his approach to ‘global microhistory’ has focused on questions of space and circulation (people, texts and objects). In addition, he has made important contributions to the social and cultural history of Early Modern Catholicism.
In order to allow the international public to access his work, this volume presents a collection of Heyberger’s studies for the first time in English, accompanied by an essay discussing the importance and legacy of his work and a comprehensive bibliography of his writings.
