Abstract

The central Mediterranean is one of the regions where the transition and relations between Byzantium and Islam can best be studied, although it is too often neglected in spite of its importance in this respect. This paper concentrates on these themes, with a special focus on Sicily and the southern part of the Italian mainland from the 8th until the 11th century. In particular, it opposes the traditional idea according to which piracy was the main Islamic maritime activity in southern Italy during the 9thâ10th centuries. It also argues that the long frontier war (9thâ10th centuries) that took place in these areas did not preclude other types of relations (commercial, cultural, religious) and circulation. It ends by evoking the Fatimid maritime policy in this region during the 10th and 11th centuries.
