Through crusades and expulsions, Muslim communities survived for
over 500 years, thriving in medieval Europe. This comprehensive
study explores how the presence of Islamic minorities transformed
Europe in everything from architecture to cooking, literature to
science, and served as a stimulus for Christian society to define
itself. Combining a series of regional studies, Catlos compares the
varied experiences of Muslims across Iberia, southern Italy, the
Crusader Kingdoms and Hungary to examine those ideologies that
informed their experiences, their place in society and their sense
of themselves as Muslims. This is a pioneering new narrative of the
history of medieval and early modern Europe from the perspective of
Islamic minorities; one which is not, as we might first assume,
driven by ideology, isolation and decline, but instead one in which
successful communities persisted because they remained actively
integrated within the larger Christian and Jewish societies in
which they lived.
