Beskrivning
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 constitutes 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 greater recognition to the island's Arabic and Islamic history. Using a multidisciplinary approach, the chapters examine Sicily's mercantile, artistic and architectural links to the Muslim world, including the subjects of the F??imids of Ifr?qiya and their Kalbid allies in Sicily. It also reflects upon the Arabo-Islamic philosophical legacy at the court of Frederick II, Muslim accounts of medieval Sicily, F??imid influence on the arts, women's textile production, discussions of linguistics and literature, and various other aspects of Sicily's diverse cultural and religious life during this period.??

Recensioner i media

Muslim Sicily: Encounters and Legacy represents an important contribution to the growing body of scholarship on Islamic Sicily. While previous studies have primarily focused on political and economic history, this collection innovatively expands the field to include literature, philosophy, and the decorative arts. Moreover, by situating Sicily within the broader Mediterranean and Ifrīqiyan contexts, the volume transcends local historiography to illuminate the island’s role as a cultural mediator between East and West.
