Muslims in Medieval Italy: The Colony at Lucera is the history of a
Muslim colony in the southern Italian city of Lucera during the
Middle Ages. Author Julie Taylor draws on a vast array of primary
sources, unpublished manuscripts, and archeological data to provide
a detailed account of the lives of Muslims against the backdrop of
the social and political complexities of medieval Lucera. Taylor's
work illuminates the legal and social status of Muslims in
Christendom and the contributions made by Muslims to the economy
and defense of the kingdom of Sicily, and it also yields noteworthy
insights into Muslim-Christian relations. Muslims in Medieval Italy
is a thoroughly researched and absorbing account.
