The Historical Landscape of Ancient Kalabría: Balkan and Aegean Linguistic Influences

Author: Francesco Lopez 
Cover The Historical Landscape of Ancient Kalabría

Series: Ancient Languages and Civilizations, Volume: 10

This book focuses on Kalabría as an ancient land of Italy from its origin to the early Middle Ages. The place name referred to the Salento peninsula, also called Messapia, as part of present-day Puglia and later to the land of the Bruttii, now the region of Calabria. This work is the first to carefully evaluate linguistic and historical studies in a comprehensive and monographic form. Following an interdisciplinary approach, the systematic combination of Linguistics and Landscape History guides the research step by step. The sample represents a new significant methodological instance that merges Toponymy, History, Archaeology, Topography, and Philology.
