In the early modern age, Mediterranean slavery caused by the war between Christian Europe and the Ottoman Empire differed from Atlantic slavery in its reversible nature: sailors, fishermen and travellers captured by enemies could always hope to regain their freedom. Negotiations for the release of slaves required the input of professionals who were comfortable on the border and able to interact with both worlds in conflict. One such professional was the merchant Thomas Goodwyn, who served as English consul in Tunis between 1684 and 1698.

Abstract
In the early modern age, Mediterranean slavery caused by the war between Christian Europe and the Ottoman Empire differed from Atlantic slavery in its reversible nature: sailors, fishermen and travellers captured by enemies could always hope to regain their freedom. Negotiations for the release of slaves required the input of professionals who were comfortable on the border and able to interact with both worlds in conflict. One such professional was the merchant Thomas Goodwyn, who served as English consul in Tunis between 1684 and 1698.File in questo prodotto:
