Based on new archaeological fieldwork and current research from a variety of academic perspectives— architecture, colonialism, ecclesiastic history, cartography, demography, law, musicology, politics, trade, and urban planning—the authors provide the foundation to incorporate Sardinia into a broader European history. Among other contributions, archaeology adds critical insight into the relationship between Christian, Muslim, and Jewish inhabitants of Sardinia, through examinations of urban and rural settlement patterns. This volume aims to stimulate further analysis of the critical role Sardinia has played as one of the largest  and most strategically located islands in the Mediterranean. Contributors are Laura Biccone, Nathalie Bouloux, Henri Bresc, Marco Cadinu, Roberto Coroneo, Laura Galoppini, Henrike Haug, Michelle Hobart, Rossana Martorelli, Giampaolo Mele, Marco Milanese, Giovanni Murgia, Gian Giacomo Ortu, Daniela Rovina, Olivetta Schena, Cecilia Tasca, Raimondo Turtas, and Corrado Zedda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"A Companion to Sardinian History will guide non-Italian researchers in finding new lines of inquiry into a burgeoning subject, with scholarship  that goes beyond the \"traditional\" works of the last century. Graduate students and medievalists who begin to consider Sardinia will find this collection particularly revealing, as it exemplifies central but still challenging themes. [...] the overall contribution of this book deserves serious consultation by any student or scholar interested in the medieval Mediterranean, as it illuminates an island that has been frequently marginalised from historical consideration. The many threads in this book allow it to accomplish its original aim: to dispense with a unifying narrative and produce a multivocal perspective of Sardinia’s medieval and early modern history\".
