Christians, Muslims, and Jews in Medieval and Early Modern Spain

"The fifteen papers published in this book with an introduction by Mark Meyerson and an epilogue by Jocelyn Hillgarth were originally presented at a conference held at the University of Notre Dame early in 1994. One of the objects was to cover as wide a period as possible in order to avoid 'artificial' boundaries such as the accession of Ferdinand and Isabella in 1474 or the fall of Granada, the expulsion of the Jews and the conquest of America in 1492. The subjects treated consequently range from the ninth to the seventeenth century." —Heythrop Journal

“This is an excellent book for scholars interested in . . . the interaction between different groups in medieval multicultural societies, particularly on the subtle issue of how identities and religion work and the images and attitudes that communities create for their own and others' consumption.” —Al-Masaq

“[A]ll the essays in this book make important contributions to their specific research fields. [D]elightful reading.” —The Sixteenth Century Journal

“The scholarship is impressive, and the volume as a whole makes it abundantly clear that the study of cultural interaction in the Iberian peninsula is thriving.” —Islam and Christian Muslim Relations

“These essays build on recent scholarship and this volume will be read with profit by a wide range of scholars in diverse fields of study.” —Religious Studies Review
