Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of methodological debates in the field of medieval migration studies and a chronological overview of major developments in the migration history of the Afro-Eurasian Transition Zone (between the Mediterranean and Central Asia and between Eastern Europe and East Africa) from 300 to 1500 a.d. It demonstrates that this macro-region was the most important intersection of human mobility in the pre-modern period with immense impact on all adjacent areas. Equally, migrations below the “radar” of state authorities or the interest of official historiography and the pitfalls of ancient, medieval and modern historiographies are highlighted.
