The Greek pandocheion, the Arabic funduq, and Latin fondaco were ubiquitous institutions in the Mediterranean sphere that operated as hostelries for travellers and evolved into centres of trade between Muslim and Christian regions. Professor Constable traces their complex evolution across space and culture from late antiquity to the Middle Ages.

This volume surveys Iberian international trade from the tenth to the fifteenth century, with particular emphasis on commerce in the Muslim period and on changes brought by Christian conquest of much of Muslim Spain in the thirteenth century.
