Religious minorities, integration and the State
Jews and Christians in Medieval Europe
Religious minorities, integration and the State; État, minorités religieuses et intégration
Judaism, Christianity and Islam have coexisted in Europe for over 1300 years. The three monotheistic faiths differ in demography, in the moment of their arrival on the continent and in the unequal relations they maintain with power: Christianity was chosen by a large number of inhabitants and became ? in spite of important differences according to place and time ?a religion of state. The organization of the continent into states and the divisions…

For medieval Christians, Islam presented a series of disquieting challenges, and individual Christians portrayed Muslim culture in varied ways, according to their interests and prejudices. These fifteen original essays focus on unfamiliar texts that reflect the wide range of medieval Christianity's preoccupation with Islam, treating works from many different periods and in a wide range of genres and languages

The book brings to life the complex and tumultuous relations between Genoans and Tunisians, Alexandrians and the people of Constantinople, Catalans and Maghrebis—the myriad groups and individuals w…

L'Europe latine et le Monde arabe au Moyen Âge
Les douze essais de ce livre explorent les diverses manières dont des auteurs chrétiens d’Europe, entre le IXe et le XIVe siècle, percevaient ceux qu’ils appelaient les « Sarrasins ». À une époque où le monde arabe était plus riche, plus puissant et plus lettré que l’Europe latine, les « Sarrasins » provoquaient à la fois la fascination, l’envie et la peur. Nous verrons dans certains des essais comment divers auteurs chrétiens composèrent des tra…
