The Emperor and the Elephant: Christians and Muslims in the Age of Charlemagne By Sam Ottewill-Soulsby
The Apple of His Eye: Converts from Islam in the Reign of Louis IX. By William Chester Jordan
In this slender book, William Chester Jordan explores the overlooked sources for King Louis IX’s program of converting Muslims to Christianity in the context of his failed crusade of 1248–1252 and his efforts to resettle these new converts in northern France. Jordan is no stranger to thirteenth-century Europe. For forty years, in book after book, he has examined the administrative acumen of the later Capetians from numerous perspectives, includin…

Cluny and the Muslims of La Garde-Freinet: Hagiography and the Problem of Islam in Medieval Europe
In the summer of 972 a group of Muslim brigands based in the south of France abducted the abbot of Cluny as he and his entourage crossed the Alps. Ultimately, the abbot was set free and returned home safely, but the abduction outraged Christian leaders and galvanized the will of local lords. Shortly thereafter, Count William of Arles marshaled an army and succeeded in wiping out the Muslim stronghold. This book uses this incident to examine Chris…
Ecclesia in medio nationis’: Reflections on the Study of Monasticism in the Central Middle Ages—Réflexions sur l’étude du monachisme au moyen âge central, ed. Steven Vanderputten and Brigitte Meijns
This is a relatively little book with a big agenda. In late 2009, Steven Vanderputten and Brigitte Meijns convened a small conference at the Catholic University of Leuven in Belgium to explore the state of current scholarship in central medieval monasticism (c.900–1050) and to reflect in particular on the interaction of religious communities with the outside world ‘as a key paradigm with which investigations into the monastic phenomenon can be fr…

In Wim Wenders' haunting film, Der Himmel uber Berlin (1987), an old man who personifies the ancient Greek poet Homer ruminates on the topic of peace in human history, while leafing through a copy of August Sander's book of photographs, Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts, in th…

Silence and Sign Language in Medieval Monasticism: The Cluniac Tradition, c.900–1200
Silence and Sign Language in Medieval Monasticism explores the rationales for religious silence in early medieval abbeys and the use of nonverbal forms of communication among monks when rules of silence forbade them from speaking. After examining the spiritual benefits of personal silence as a form of protection against the perils of sinful discourse in early monastic thought, this work shows how the monks of the Abbey of Cluny (founded in 910 in…
