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. 410 0$aMiddle Ages series. 606 $aHISTORY / Medieval$2bisacsh 607 $aItaly, Southern$xHistory$y535-1268 607 $aItaly, Southern$xSocial conditions 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / Medieval. 676 $a945/.702 700 $aKreutz$b Barbara M$0138391 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457481703321 996 $aBefore the normans$9483620 997 $aUNINA
