This book tells the story of how a nineteenth-century concept, the
Renaissance, has encouraged us to forget many of the artistic,
social, religious, and cultural links between East and West
characteristic of previous centuries. In chapters ranging from
Ottoman history to sodomy, from portraits of St. George to Arabic
philosophy, from cannibalism to diplomacy, celebrated writers and
eminent scholars interrogate what all too often seem to be settled
certainties, such as the "inevitable conflict" between Islam and
Christianity, and the "rebirth of European" civilizaton from
exclusively European origins.
