The paper explores the influence of religious identity and memory on medieval Arab Muslim travelers and their accounts of Sicily. It examines al-Masudi’s and al-Garnati’s accounts of the Mount Etna and its volcanic nature. Through an intertextual reading and linguistic analysis of the terminology, the paper points out that these travelers perceived and described the landscape of the volcano with a religious language that refers to the Qur’anic text.
