{"product_id":"arabic-administration-in-norman-sicily-jeremy-johns-9780521816922","title":"Arabic Administration in Norman Sicily: The Royal Diwan","description":"Jeremy Johns' unique study is the first comprehensive account of the Arabic administration of Norman Sicily. While it is generally assumed that the Normans inherited their administration from the Muslim governors of the island, Johns demonstrates that the Norman kings actually restructured their administration to the model of Fatimid Egypt. Controversially, he suggests that their intention was not administrative efficiency, but the projection of their royal image. This accessible account of the Norman rulers reveals how they related to their counterparts in the Muslim Mediterranean.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeremy Johns\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521816920\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521816922\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 1.10d","brand":"Jeremy Johns","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44717148831999,"sku":"9780521816922","price":108.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b54d2852-3302-436c-9725-a26d14936a62.jpg?v=1705687163","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arabic-administration-in-norman-sicily-jeremy-johns-9780521816922","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
