This book draws upon new insights into the study of slavery to reinterpret and survey anew the early medieval Mediterranean from the point of view of slavery, and to present a new historiographical perspective on the subject. Offering a synthesis of recent scholarship on slavery, this book reveals the dynamic, versatile and adaptable character of slavery against the background of the great historical transformation that created the medieval Mediterranean world between the sixth to the eleventh century
