Rezensionen

"By examining how Muslims and Christians perceived each other and how they communicated, this book brings the relationship between Muslims and Christians in early medieval Italy into clearer focus. According to the author, it is addressed to a non-specialist audience; issues related to sources, hypotheses, and historiographical debates are not discussed in order to keep the text and the endnotes uncomplicated."
