Reviews

"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."-Clifford R. Backman, Boston University, author of The Decline and Fall of Medieval Sicily: Politics, Religion, and Economy in the Reign of Frederick III, 1296-1337
