Yet Southern Italy in the ninth and tenth centuries was a complex and vibrant world that deserves to be better understood. In Before the Normans, Barbara M. Kreutz writes the first modern study in English of the land, political structures, and cultures of southern Italy in the two centuries before the Norman conquests. This was a pan-Meditteranean society, where the Roman past and Lombard-Germanic culture met Byzantine and Islamic civilization, creating a rich and unusual mix.Middle Ages series.HISTORY / MedievalbisacshItaly, SouthernHistory535-1268Italy, SouthernSocial conditionsElectronic books.HISTORY / Medieval.945/.702Kreutz Barbara M138391MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457481703321Before the normans483620UNINA
