Fusioni o confusioni? Due documenti greci con note in arabo nella Sicilia orientale (XII secolo)

Abstract:
The article presents two twelfths-century deeds of sale. produced in the Sicilian Val Demone, where a majority Greek population, tenacious of Byzantine tradition, resided. Both documents are drawn up according to Greek legal norms, but included notes of. confirmation and validation, written in Arabic, which utilize and adapt legal formulae and styles established in the Islamic legal sphere. Each, in its different way, point to a certain synthesis, or fusion, of Greek-Byzantine and Muslim practice, and a juridical multiculturalism that one can find also in other inter-religious contexts.
