Philip of Mahdia, Ibn al-Šadd?d, SicilyAbstract
Through the Arabic versions about Philip of Mahdia’s events, a 12th century Norman-Sicilian warlord at the service of Roger II, we will suggest a new reading of the passage that could date back to the narration related to Philip, today lost, by the historian Ibn al-Šadd?d.
