| Abstract: | For some two years now, I have been searching for and studying documents showing that Italian was widely used as the vehicular language (the lingua veicolare) between Moslems and Christians in the Turkish empire during the seventeenth century and also, perhaps more significantly, between speakers belonging to the various European nationalities with apparently no language in common. This was clearly the case in the North African Regencies of the Barbary Coast, centered in Tripoli, Tunis and Algiers. In this paper, I shall be concentrating largely on Tunis. |
