‘Adiutores Mahumet compilauerunt Alchoran’
This paper investigates the reasons for the selection of the three texts that, in the Corpus islamolatinum, were meant to represent the foundational texts of Islam along with the Qur'an. Indeed, these texts do not play this momentous role in Islamic tradition. Thus, the fabule Sarracenorum, as the three texts and the Qur'an are labelled in the oldest manuscript of the Corpus, turn out to be fabule Iudeorum, and Islam is presented as the product o…
The Qubbat al-Ṣaḫrah in the 12th Century
This paper investigates the reasons for the unexpected importance acquired by the Qubbat al-Ṣaḫrah in Crusader Jerusalem and its relationship to the Basilica of the Holy Sepulcher.

This paper focuses on the Sarraceni as key players in the fourth persecution, spanning the first century of Islamic history. The analysis of the occurrences of terms r…

The Pseudo-historical Image of the Prophet Muhammad in Medieval Latin Literature
Exploring and understanding how medieval Christians perceived and constructed the figure of the Prophet Muhammad is of capital relevance in the complex history of Christian-Muslim relations. Medieval authors writing in Latin from the 8th to the 14th centuries elaborated three main images of the Prophet: the pseudo-historical, the legendary, and the eschatological one. This volume focuses on the first image and consists of texts that aim to reveal…
