This book is a collection of milestone articles of a leading
scholar in the study of the Norman Kingdom of Sicily, a crossroads
of Latin-Christian, Greek-Byzantine, and Arab-Islamic cultures and
one of the most fascinating but also one of the most neglected
kingdoms in the medieval world. Some of his articles were published
in influential journals such as English Historical Review, Viator,
Mediterranean Historical Review, and Papers of the British School
at Rome, while others appeared in hard-to-obtain festschrifts,
proceedings of international conferences, and so on. The articles
included here, based on analysis of Latin, Greek, and Arabic
documents as well as multi-lingual parchments, explore subjects of
interest in medieval Mediterranean world such as Norman
administrations, multi-cultural courts, Christian-Muslim diplomacy,
conquests and migrations, religious tolerance and conflicts,
cross-cultural contacts, and so forth. Some of them dig deep into
curious specific topics, while others settle disputes among
scholars and correct our antiquated interpretations. His attention
to the administrative structure of the kingdom of Sicily, whose
bureaucracy was staffed by Greeks, Muslims and Latins, has been a
particularly important part of his work, where he has engaged in
major debates with other scholars in the field.
