Description
In a comprehensive 2002 account of the Arabic administration of Norman Sicily, the author demonstrates that, contrary to the traditional view, the Normans deliberately imported the island's Arabic administration from contemporary Egypt. He also suggests that its primary function was not administration but the projection of the royal image.
