Where Three Worlds Met: Sicily in the Early Medieval Mediterranean
In Where Three Worlds Met, Sarah Davis-Secord investigates Sicily's place within the religious, diplomatic, military, commercial, and intellectual networks of the Mediterranean by tracing the patterns of travel, trade, and communication among Christians (Latin and Greek), Muslims, and Jews. By looking at the island across this long expanse of time and during the periods of transition from one dominant culture to another, Davis-Secord uncovers the patterns that defined and redefined the broader Muslim-Christian encounter in the Middle Ages.

What People are Saying About This
Clifford R. Backman
Where Three Worlds Met is an ambitious and intelligent portrait of Sicily's place in Mediterranean life, a topic well worth undertaking. Located at the center of the Mediterranean, the island was not surprisingly the center of the various commercial, diplomatic, and cultural networks that spread throughout the basin.
