L'estudi de la pirateria a través dels avisaments costaners. Replegament cristià i setge islàmic a la València de la transició a la modernitat

Abstract

We can consider the period between 1480 and 1520 as che most spectacular of the Discovery Era. The area round València and all the land of the Mediterranean side of the península were then subject to pirate pressure. So, in the general framework of piracy in Valencia, the analysis of the coastal observations is thus one of the sources that most can help us to clear up the main points of this important social and economic phenomenon, during a very concrete lapse of time such as this one. If we add perspicacity, we will be able to analyze the trajectory of Christian's (from France or Genova) and Muslim's (barbarian, Turkish, etc. pirates) war.
