Alex Metcalfe has published widely on the medieval Mediterranean, particularly Muslim Sicily and the Normans in Italy. He is currently Senior Lecturer in History at Lancaster University, UK.
This volume deals with the evidence from manuscripts and handwritten documents with multilingual and multigraphic structures in Arabic, Hebrew, Latin and Greek, conceived and designed to display texts in different languages or scripts, as well as addressing the historical context of these testimonia (their production, use and circulation) and focusing on problems inherent to multicultural societies.
