This landmark volume combines classic and revisionist essays to
explore the historiography of Sardinia's exceptional transition
from an island of the Byzantine empire to the rise of its own
autonomous rulers, the iudikes, by the 1000s. In addition to
Sardinia's contacts with the Byzantines, Muslim North Africa and
Spain, Lombard Italy, Genoa, Pisa, and the papacy, recent and older
evidence is analysed through Latin, Greek and Arabic sources,
vernacular charters and cartularies, the testimony of coinage,
seals, onomastics and epigraphy as well as the Sardinia's early
medieval churches, arts, architecture and archaeology. The result
is an important new critique of state formation at the margins of
Byzantium, Islam, and the Latin West with the creation of lasting
cultural, political and linguistic frontiers in the western
Mediterranean. Contributors are Hervin Fernandez-Aceves, Luciano
Gallinari, Rossana Martorelli, Attilio Mastino, Alex Metcalfe,
Marco Muresu, Michele Orru, Andrea Pala, Giulio Paulis, Giovanni
Strinna, Alberto Virdis, Maurizio Virdis, and Corrado Zedda.
