Irene Tinti at the Conference Travelling books, journeying men: cultural dynamics along trade routes to and from the East, 23 October 2024, University of Pisa, Italy

Team member Irene Tinti took part in the conference Travelling books, journeying men: cultural dynamics along trade routes to and from the East, held at the University of Pisa (21‒23 October 2024).

She gave a paper titled Dall’Europa all’Armenia: il domenicano Pietro d’Aragona (? - 1347) e la comunità di Kʽṙna [From Europe to Armenia: the Dominican Peter of Aragon (d. 1347) and the Community of Kʽṙna]. Her presentation focused on the notion of ‘journey’ as a means of contact between different cultures, and on one particular ‘journeying man’, a Western Dominican who ended up acting as a cultural mediator ‒ and thus an agent of entanglement ‒ in the Caucasus.
