Tafur also recounts the complexity of the Mediterranean world, the geo-political strategies of the maritime powers, the alliances, the wars, the meeting-clash of very different nations and peoples, the customs, even those related to food, the measures to combat plagues and so on. The account of his experiences (with precise references in sources contemporary to him) constitutes a very precious document on the reality of the Mediterranean in the first half of the 15th century. Nel corso dei suoi viaggi marittimi e terrestri per l'Italia, il Levante, l'Oriente e il Nord Europa, dei quali ha lasciato precisa memoria nelle sue Andanças e viages, Pero Tafur si dimostra un osservatore attento e perspicace: non solo esibisce le sue conoscenze tecniche arricchite da descrizioni assai precise e puntuali di rotte, porti, modalità di navigazione, tipologie di imbarcazioni e via dicendo, ma soprattutto descrive il Mediterraneo nel quale le flotte aragonesi-catalane, castigliane, veneziane, genovesi ed ottomane si scontrano per imporre la loro supremazia militare e commerciale. Tafur, inoltre, racconta la complessità del mondo mediterraneo, le strategie geo-politiche delle potenze marinare, le alleanze, le guerre, l'incontro-scontro di nazioni e popoli assai diversi, usi e costumi anche alimentari, le misure per combattere le pestilenze e via dicendo. Il racconto delle sue esperienze (con precisi riscontri nelle fonti a lui contemporanee) costituisce un documento assai prezioso sulla realtà del Mediterraneo nella prima metà del XV secolo. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: Italian refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Scripta is the property of Scripta and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
