Islamic Law and the Reconfiguration of Transmediterranean Mobility
Entangled Worlds
Far from a stagnant “Middle Ages,” the years 600–1350 witnessed globalization and social innovation. Entangled Worlds explores long-distance trade in the Americas, cosmopolitan effects of Islamic and Mongol expansion, the spread of monotheist and Sinitic models of sociocultural organization, and the birth of settled political order in South Asia.
The Genesis of an Imperial Culture
Interreligious Communication
This introduction lays the conceptual and methodological groundwork for the special issue “Interreligious Communication: Transmediterranean Perspectives (7th–16th Cent.)”. It aims to reassess Jewish-Christian-Muslim relations in the premodern Mediterranean by foregrounding communication as a distinct analytical category. While such relations have been widely studied, their underlying communicative practices—verbal, written, symbolic, embodied—rem…

Communication
Communication as a paradigm of analysis has so far been neglected in the study of historical relations between Christians and Muslims. Part One demonstrates that previous forms of conceptualizing these relations fail to grasp the wide range of possible forms of interaction. It presents more differentiated recent approaches and points to the problems that still need solving. Part Two proposes a typology of different kinds of primary evidence that …
The Genoese Predicament
Building on research that presents Jews and Muslims as an integral part of Genoese history, this article analyses the development of Genoese–Muslim interaction in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries to understand the challenges of interreligious communication in the pre-modern Mediterranean. It treats the Annals of Genoa as a collective psychogramme that provides insight into the commune’s shifting attitudes towards Muslims. While acknowledging …
The Unkempt Heritage
As linguistic systems, Latin and Arabic have interacted for centuries. The article at hand aims at analysing the status of the Latin language in the Arab and Arabic-Islamic sphere. Starting out from the observation that Latin-Christian and Arabic-Islamic scholarship dedicated a very different degree of attention to the study of the respective ‘other’ language in the course of the centuries, the article traces the impact of Latin on an emerging Ar…
Arabic-Islamic Views of the Latin West
The author offers an insight into how the Arabic-Islamic world perceived medieval Western Europe, refuting previous claims that the Muslim world regarded Western Europe as a cultural backwater, instead arguing for the presence of cultural and information flows between the two very different societies

Was die intellektuellen Wissenschaften angeht, die dem Menschen natürlicherweise zu eigen sind, da er ein zum Nachdenken befähigtes Wesen ist, so sind sie nicht auf eine Gruppe beschränkt, sondern auf eine bestimmte Geisteshaltung, die bei allen menschlichen Gruppen anzutreffen ist. Diese bemühen sich darum, diese [Wissenschaften], die es in ihrer menschlichen Form seit der Besiedlung der Schöpfung gibt, zu verstehen und zu erforschen.Ibn Ḫaldūn …

The Christianisation of Latin Europe as Seen by Medieval Arab-Islamic Historiographers
The article aims at defining what Arab Muslims of the crusading period knew about the conversion of Latin Europe to Christianity through an analysis of Arabic-Islamic sources written up to the fourteenth century. Whereas Christianity seems to have interested the first generations of Muslims mainly as a theological phenomenon, the emergence of more comprehensive forms of Muslim historiography led to the creation of Arabic texts dealing with the fo…
