| Summary: | "Showcases the importance of cultural exchange through an exploration of Sicily's Arabo-Islamic past. The period of Arabo-Islamic domination of parts of Sicily, and the consequent large Muslim presence on the island from 800 to the mid-13th century, constitute a crucial epoch whose influence remains an integral part of the island's architectural and cultural landscape. This volume builds on existing scholarship and goes beyond the 'Arabo-Norman' construct to afford a greater recognition to the island's Arabic and Islamic history."--from the back cover. |
