By merging these seemingly disparate strands in the scholarship of world history and medieval studies into a single volume, this book offers new insights into the history of medieval Sicily and the study of maritime violence. As several of the essays in this volume demonstrate, maritime violence fundamentally shaped experience in the medieval Mediterranean, as every ship that sailed, even those launched for commerce or travel, anticipated the possibility of encountering pirates, or dabbling in piracy themselves.Mediterranean Perspectives,2731-5606EuropeHistory476-1492ItalyHistoryCivilizationHistoryHistory of Medieval EuropeHistory of ItalyCultural HistoryEuropeHistory476-1492.ItalyHistory.CivilizationHistory.History of Medieval Europe.History of Italy.Cultural History.364.164Reyerson KathrynTai Emily SohmerMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910592985103321Mapping pre-modern Sicily3009831UNINA
