Abstract
Multiculturalism and multilingualism are often used to condense the Norman political and cultural experience in the kingdom of Sicily into a formula. How the coexistence of the three, if not four, cultural communities - Greek Byzantine language and rite, Arab Muslim and Judeo-Arabic, Latin Roman rite - was articulated is, however, a far from simple question. The contribution attempts to demonstrate the validity of the act of juridical practice as a tool for the study of Norman society and culture in Sicily starting from the analysis of the definition of boundaries, urban and rural, contained therein.
