About This Book
This volume examines Muslim rule in Sicily, detailing political organization, the practical autonomy of provincial emirs relative to the caliphate, emergence of regional dynasties, coinage evidence, and local practices of appointing or deposing governors. It analyzes administrative, military, fiscal and judicial structures, the role of religious and aristocratic elites, and the limits of central authority through ceremonies, taxes, and minting. The author traces how colonists and military forces shaped governance, notes disputes over jurisdiction and arbitrary justice, and connects Sicilian developments with broader North African and Middle Eastern precedents.
