Zusammenfassung:Explores Arab-Muslim rule and society in Sicily and south Italy from 800 to 1300GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup('ISBN:9780748620081);This significant work focuses on the formation and disintegration of Arab-Muslim rule and society in Sicily and south Italy between 800 and 1300 which led to the creation of an enduring Muslim-Christian frontier during the age of the Crusades. It examines the long and short-term impact of Islamic authority and culture on these regions and how they later fell into the hands of European rulers, explaining how the Norman conquest of Sicily came to import radically different dynamics to the central Mediterranean. The change of ruling elites left a majority Muslim population under Christian rule, but the Sicilian kings also adopted and adapted political ideologies from south Mediterranean regimes while absorbing cultural influences from the diverse peoples over whom they ruled. This work provides an engaging, expert and wide-ranging introduction to the subject and offers fresh and clear insights into the political, religious, social, economic and cultural evolution of Europe and the Islamic world. Key FeaturesA welcome introduction a field where very little has been writtenExplores the formation of lasting Muslim-Christian frontiers in medieval EuropeCovers issues including Muslim-Christian relations, conquest, colonisation, conflict and acculturation, and the transmission and exchange of ideas from east to west
