This is the first volume to deal with the migration of Greeks to the Holy Roman Empire in detail. It reveals that there were three types of migrants: almsmen, students, and traders. Greek migrants from the Ottoman Empire were of particular significance as "bearers of knowledge," with scholars and institutions viewing their presence as a great opportunity. The book also describes the resulting interactions and relationships.
