Summary

Djerba's medieval history, characterized by its unique Ibadi 'islandscape,' is revealed through overlapping layers of geography, ecology, social settlement patterns, and commercial activities. This approach deviates from traditional chronological surveys, instead focusing on how these interconnected elements shaped the island's identity during the medieval period. The study highlights Djerba as a distinctive case study within Islamic history, offering insights into the spatial organization and socio-economic dynamics of Ibadi communities in an island territory.
